Lesley | Integrative counsellor

Integrative Counselling Harrogate

My name is Lesley and I am an integrative counsellor, which means I use a variety of different therapeutic models designed to help every individual client's issues. But more importantly for my clients, I will see you, listen to you and value you in the work we do together to find some answers to life's challenges. I work face-to-face in North Yorkshire and Perthshire but I also offer online therapy sessions across the United Kingdom and I am insured to work with clients in certain countries abroad. 

Losing hope amongst life's challenges can be devastating and debilitating. Searching for where to find help on a website like this is the first part of your journey towards greater autonomy and peace, and I would like to invite you to see how we might work together to get you to reach that goal.

That work begins with welcoming each of my unique clients into an empathic and non-judgemental environment where I can start to learn about their distinctive world and what pressures and problems they are facing. 

I am an experienced counsellor who has worked with individuals, couples, families and non-monogamous groups in both private practice and for several charities. I have trained with the bereavement organisation Cruse, the relationship group Relate, where I have worked as a counsellor and sex therapist for several years and in my trauma work I support detainees and their families at a small charity working in the field of hostage and kidnap. 

I have an extensive training history - culminating most recently in the completion of two master's degrees - both at distinction level - a Master of Arts (MA) in contemporary relationship studies and a Master of Science (MSc) in contemporary psychosexual therapy.
