Lesley Nance, NCPS

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore feelings at their own pace. It helps with stress, low mood and relationship worries by keeping the conversation centred on what matters to the person.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood over time. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes because it builds steady, everyday habits of awareness.

EMDR uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to help the nervous system process distressing memories. It can be offered when people find that talking alone does not shift intense emotional responses.

Lesley treats the choice of approach as a team decision. She will discuss options, try different methods if needed, and adapt plans to a person's goals and preferences. Finding the right fit is part of the collaborative work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for many people. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins or for those who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments while keeping consistent contact with a therapist.
