Lesley Neale

I have availability for online sessions during the day or evening.

Hello. I am a qualified counsellor with experience of working within an agency and in private practice alongside clients with a wide range of reasons for seeking counselling.

Whether you are feeling that something is not quite right without knowing the reason, or you have experienced difficult life events or trauma which has left you feeling lost or trapped in your past, I believe that everybody has the ability to grow and move forward. I am here to support you, providing a safe space for you to speak freely and in confidence.

When working alongside you, your well-being is very important to me and our work together will always be at your own pace ensuring that you feel safe to explore your emotions and thoughts, in a non-judgemental, open minded and empathic environment.  

I understand that everybody is unique and with this in mind my aim is that we always work together in a way that is best suited to your needs.

My approach to counselling is integrative which means that my training and experience allows me to be flexible in my practice, drawing on a variety of modalities to bring to our sessions. 

I am certified to work online and offer counselling via Zoom, giving you the freedom to speak to me from a place that you know is safe and comfortable for you. 

Each session is 50 minutes long. I offer both short term and open ended counselling with regular reviews of the work we do to ensure we are working in the best way possible for you.

I understand that it can feel difficult when looking for the right counsellor. With this in mind I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation where we can have a chat about your reasons for seeking counselling and how our work together might look. I welcome any questions at this stage giving you the opportunity to make an informed choice about us moving forward.
