About Lesley
Lesley Nance NCPS offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also helps people dealing with family concerns, caregiver stress, grief and separation. Lesley’s approach aims to make difficult feelings easier to manage and to help people find practical ways forward.
Lesley works in a direct but gentle way. She combines talking therapy with body-aware and spiritual perspectives when that fits a person’s needs. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns, building coping strategies, and restoring a sense of agency in everyday life.
For people affected by trauma or stuck emotional reactions, Lesley offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR. EMDR is used alongside other methods when appropriate to help shift distress that talking alone hasn’t resolved.
She also draws on mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to help people notice their thoughts, develop small changes, and try different responses. Hypnotherapy is another option Lesley may use to support relaxation and to work with habits and deep-seated beliefs.
Lesley has nine years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She works with individuals who want practical tools and emotional support to change patterns and improve wellbeing. Sessions and the pace of work are tailored to each person’s situation and goals.

How Lesley’s approaches translate to online work
Lesley combines client-centred talking, EMDR and mindfulness so the focus stays on what helps the person most. Client-centred therapy means the conversation follows the person’s pace and priorities, helping them feel heard and understood while exploring practical steps forward. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic or stuck emotional memories by using guided attention and processing techniques to calm strong reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try different methods if needed, and adapt the pace to the client’s goals and comfort level.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during the day, reducing travel time, or choosing a quieter time that suits caregiving routines. Online work can also make it easier to continue sessions when circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together whether EMDR, mindfulness exercises or conversation-based sessions are the best next step.
