About Lesley
Lesley Palm is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger and a wide range of life concerns. Lesley also offers coaching and mindfulness teaching alongside counselling.
She describes her way of working as client-led. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on the issues they bring. Lesley values the relationship in counselling and uses that to help people talk through difficult feelings and situations.
Her practice includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship struggles and career or life-change decisions. Lesley also works with process addictions, drug and alcohol addiction, ADHD-related difficulties and problems linked to ageing or isolation.
Lesley uses client-centred techniques to help people feel heard and understood. She brings mindfulness tools for managing stress and uses motivational interviewing when people want to change habits or behaviours. These approaches are aimed at clarifying goals and building practical steps forward.
She offers a free initial consultation so prospective clients can meet and check if the style fits. Sessions are available by telephone and video, and Lesley accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How Lesley’s approaches are used online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the client’s lead and helps people explore their feelings with fewer directions from the therapist. This approach can help when someone wants to unpack anger, shame or low self-esteem.Mindfulness Therapy offers practical exercises to notice thoughts and bodily reactions. Simple breath work and awareness practices can reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to frustrating situations.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-oriented way of talking about change. It helps people clarify their reasons for altering habits and build small, achievable steps when tackling addictions or unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley will discuss options and decide together what best fits the client’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs become clearer.
