Welcome to Resilient Minds Counselling
My name is Lesley, please feel free to explore
I am a BACP-registered Integrative Counsellor with a Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My practice combines structured, evidence-based CBT with the warmth and depth of Person-Centred Therapy, placing the relationship at the heart of our work.
I believe that when we shift the focus from “what’s wrong” to “what’s possible,” we create space for growth, healing, and resilience.
Resilience is the ability to recover, rebuild, and grow after life has challenged us. Whether it’s anxiety, loss, panic, depression, or relationship difficulties, life can leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. At Resilient Minds Counselling, I offer a compassionate, confidential space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences and reconnect with your inner world.​
​
I believe you are the expert in your own life. Therapy isn’t about being told what to do—it’s about working collaboratively to help you understand yourself more deeply, develop new coping strategies, and move forward with clarity and confidence, knowing who you are.
​
I also work extensively with relational issues, helping clients to navigate difficulties in communication, emotional intimacy, boundaries, and conflict. These relational insights can be particularly helpful if you feel stuck in repeating patterns, struggle to express your needs, or find yourself frequently overwhelmed by emotional dynamics in close relationships.
