About Leslie
Leslie Milne is a counsellor who helps people with relationship strain, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She writes in a supportive, straightforward way and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain about therapy.
With 12 years of overall experience and a BACP credential, Leslie adapts sessions to each person’s needs. She works respectfully and with sensitivity. Sessions are shaped around the immediate concerns a person brings, and practical goals are set together.
Leslie draws on a range of approaches in conversation. She uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce rumination and ease intense feelings.
She also brings approaches suited to relationships, such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy, when the focus is on closeness, communication and repairing bonds. These aim to help people understand emotional patterns and build safer ways of relating.
Leslie has worked with issues including abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and substance-related difficulties. She also supports people struggling with body image, eating issues, guilt, shame and a sense of emptiness.
Her practice is practical and collaborative. People who contact her begin by completing a short questionnaire and then plan sessions that fit their needs and schedule.
How Leslie adapts therapeutic approaches to online work
Leslie uses client-centred listening to build trust and help people feel understood. This approach focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, encouraging them to lead the conversation and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behaviour, which can be practised between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Leslie collaborates with each person to work out which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. She discusses options and adjusts her way of working as progress and priorities emerge.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the current formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tasks in their everyday environment, then bring reflections back into the session for discussion.
