How Lesley’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the pace the person prefers, helping them clarify what matters most. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people discover their own reasons for change and plan small, doable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lesley will discuss which methods fit the person's goals and preferences and she will adapt her style as the sessions progress. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques with practical needs rather than forcing a single method.
The biography notes that Lesley offers telephone and video sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or enabling sessions when movement is restricted. Confirm the exact session options and scheduling details before booking so arrangements match everyday routines.
