About Leslie
Counsellor Leslie Milne is a BACP member with 12 years of experience. She works with people on relationship problems, family issues, grief, self‑esteem and depression.
Leslie listens to what matters to each person and focuses on practical steps. She uses straightforward approaches such as client‑centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally‑focused methods. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and respond to.
Her work often covers communication problems, commitment anxiety and attachment concerns. She also supports people dealing with loss, guilt, shame and issues around body image or substance use. Leslie addresses both everyday pressures and longer standing patterns that affect relationships.
In sessions she draws on mindfulness techniques to help with stress and self‑regulation. Imago relationship ideas may be used to look at recurring interaction patterns in close relationships. Solution‑focused tools are brought in when small, concrete changes are helpful.
Leslie practices in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire when they first contact her. The questionnaire helps shape the first session and priorities for therapy.
How Leslie uses therapy approaches in online counselling
Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening, reflecting what is said and helping people find their own solutions. This approach can help when someone needs a steadier space to talk about feelings without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for low mood, worry and changes in self‑esteem. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions within close relationships. It helps people name their feelings and try new ways of connecting. This can be helpful for recurring communication problems and attachment worries. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses. Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family life. It also allows shorter check‑in sessions, avoiding travel and making it simpler to keep appointments when time is limited.Areas of expertise
