Lesley Nance, NCPS

Lesley Nance is an integrative psychotherapist who holds the NCPS credential and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She combines practical therapeutic methods with an openness to spiritual perspectives to support people seeking meaningful emotional change.

Lesley offers a welcoming space where counselling and spirituality can come together, with an emphasis on transformation that can begin even in early sessions. She helps clients identify and move beyond limiting patterns, reconnect with inner resilience, and develop practical skills for regulating emotions and shifting perspective to create lasting breakthroughs.

Her practice is both holistic and evidence-based, drawing on mind-body approaches alongside structured therapeutic techniques. For clients working through trauma or persistent emotional responses, Lesley also offers EMDR therapy as a focused option - EMDR targets stored distress in the nervous system in ways that can complement talk-based work and promote greater clarity, calm, and confidence.

Lesley structures her work at a pace suited to each person. She walks alongside clients offering observation, gentle challenge, and encouragement. Whether addressing overwhelm, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, or life transitions, she provides a warm, structured, and supportive environment in which personal healing and growth can unfold.

Therapeutic Approaches Online - EMDR, Client-Centered, Mindfulness

Lesley works with several established approaches that adapt well to online formats. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space - the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore feelings and goals, which can help with self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used for trauma and stuck emotional responses - it helps the nervous system process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that support emotion regulation, reduce anxiety, and improve present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lesley collaborates with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts pacing and techniques as the work unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the chosen approach feels like a good fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while traveling, and integrate therapy into busy lives without sacrificing therapeutic depth.
