Lesley Nance, NCPS

Lesley Nance, NCPS, offers calm, focused support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and midlife transition. She works with those coping with relationship strain, family tensions and major life changes. Her approach aims to help clients notice old patterns and begin small, practical shifts that make life feel steadier.

Lesley combines talking therapy with body-aware and spiritual perspectives. She draws on client-centred work to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused ideas are used to build everyday coping skills and clear, short-term steps.

For people who carry stuck trauma responses, Lesley offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often abbreviated to EMDR. That method aims to ease intense reactions that talking alone can struggle to reach. She also uses hypnotherapy to support calm, focused change when appropriate.

Sessions move at a client’s pace. Lesley describes her style as warm and structured - she listens closely, gently challenges when needed, and helps set achievable goals. Practical tools for emotion regulation and perspective shifts are a regular part of the work.

She has nine years of experience and holds NCPS as her listed credential. People who want to explore change, manage life stressors, or navigate a midlife re-evaluation can expect collaborative, grounded support.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, providing a calm space to talk and reflect while the therapist follows the client's lead. It helps when someone needs to be heard and wants to build self-understanding and confidence. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is aimed at easing intense trauma-related reactions by working with bodily and memory processes rather than only talking. It can be useful for people who feel stuck by past events. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation, useful for anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying a technique for a few sessions and adapting as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit into busy lives, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding being on camera when someone prefers. Registered or accredited professionals can still offer structured, goal-focused support through remote appointments, helping people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday demands.
