About Lesley
Lesley Parfitt is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist registered with NCPS and has five years' clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and self-esteem. Lesley also pays attention to life purpose when people feel stuck after major change.
She describes a depth-oriented way of working that draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas while also using cognitive-behavioural tools. Sessions are conversational and reflective. Lesley listens for attachment patterns, body image issues and control dynamics that often surface in therapy.
Clients exploring separation, grief, guilt or shame can expect practical talking work alongside attention to underlying feelings. For people troubled by panic or mood shifts she uses clear strategies to manage symptoms and then looks at what keeps them happening.
Lesley integrates hypnotherapy and existential themes where helpful, for people questioning meaning or direction. Her background also includes approaches that focus on bodily experience, which can be useful after trauma or with eating-related difficulties.
She works in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom, while accepting international clients as noted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lesley uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people notice repeating difficulties in relationships or feel unsure how to connect with others. Client-Centred work keeps the focus on the person’s experience and priorities, offering space to discuss life purpose and what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides clear strategies to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms through practical exercises.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lesley will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone access therapy from another region, which supports international clients. Practical arrangements and which methods to use are discussed in the first sessions to make therapy work with everyday life.
