Integrative approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape emotional responses. Lesley uses this approach to help clients explore relationship dynamics, attachment issues and how those patterns affect stress, intimacy and self-worth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. In practice, Lesley applies CBT techniques to reduce anxiety, manage panic symptoms, and address unhelpful thinking that contributes to low mood, eating concerns and self-criticism.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access inner resources and support change in habits, body image and trauma-related responses. Lesley integrates clinical hypnotherapy where appropriate to complement other therapeutic work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lesley works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on individual needs, goals and preferences. The first sessions often involve gentle exploration and planning so therapy can be tailored over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, by phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access consistent support across distances, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt methods effectively in these formats to support progress and well-being.
