About Lesley
Lesley Parfitt is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and self‑esteem struggles. Lesley uses a depth-oriented approach that draws on Jungian therapy alongside other methods to suit each person she meets.
Her background blends psychodynamic and humanistic ideas with cognitive behavioural therapy. She describes her work as integrative - matching techniques to the individual's needs rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
That can mean talking through patterns, looking at emotional history, and using practical exercises between sessions. Sessions often focus on understanding how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. Lesley pays attention to attachment patterns, body image and control issues, and she supports people dealing with guilt, shame or life transitions such as divorce and separation.
She also offers help for mood and panic disorders and post-traumatic stress. Her approach can include reflective conversation, imaginative work influenced by Jungian ideas, and practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods. She may also integrate somatic awareness and breathwork where helpful to the client's goals.
Lesley works in English and accepts international clients. She combines therapeutic listening with practical steps so people can better cope day to day and build clearer personal direction.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jungian therapy looks at images, dreams and personal symbols to help people understand inner conflicts and life themes; online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to bring those patterns into awareness. Attachment‑based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses; it helps with anxiety, relationship concerns and feelings of safety by exploring relational patterns during sessions. Client‑centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work and uses empathic listening and open‑ended conversation to support self‑understanding and growth.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor the mix of methods collaboratively. That means work can shift over time as needs and priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check‑in. Live chat and text‑based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing or need more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family life while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
