LNTherapy

LNTherapy What if everything you have been searching for - love, confidence, wholeness - is already within you? You’re not too much. You’re not too broken. Hi, I’m Lesley.

You’re just carrying things that were never yours to hold. I’m a relationship focused counsellor, EMDR practitioner and spiritual coach — and I help people who feel stuck, lost, anxious, or just plain exhausted come back to themselves. Maybe you’re tired of second-guessing everything. Maybe your relationships feel hard, and you’re wondering if it’s something you’re doing. Maybe anxiety, trauma or burnout are running the show. Or maybe you just don’t feel like you anymore. I offer a grounded, spiritual approach to therapy that blends deep inner work with proven psychological tools — including EMDR, when it’s needed. Together, we’ll get curious about the patterns you’re in, what’s been weighing you down, and how you can feel safe, clear, and connected again. This isn’t about fixing you — because I don’t believe you’re broken. It’s about helping you uncover the version of you that’s always been there, underneath the survival mode. I work with warmth, honesty, and the occasional bit of humour — because healing doesn’t have to feel clinical. It just has to feel real. Free phone consultation available

If you’re ready for change — even if you’re scared — I’d love to walk beside you.

That’s why the stories you tell yourself matter💛

We all want things to change, but how often do we pause to check if we're actually embodying the person who is creating those changes?

So try asking yourself:

-“Who am I being right now?”

-“How would I be acting if I was already the person who has what I want?”

-“And If I were already the version of me I’m becoming… what would I do next?”

Small shifts in who you’re being can create the biggest changes in what you experience. 🌿✨

Who do you feel you HAVE to be in order to be loved?

So many of us learned early on that love felt conditional. Maybe we picked up stories like:

-I’m only lovable if I’m good.

-If I fix everyone’s problems.

-If I’m “low maintenance” or always happy.

Sounds exhausting, right?
I spent so long wearing a mask I didn’t even notice it … until I was ready to see what I was sacrificing for those beliefs.

But the truth is: you don’t have to bend over backwards or sell your soul to be loved. You are already enough. ❤️

Letting go of old beliefs feels scary, but that’s how you find people who love YOU, not the role you’re playing.

You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be you. And that is enough. ❤️

Which patterns keep repeating in your relationships, and what are they trying to show you about yourself?

Sometimes the same story shows up in different relationships until we see what it’s really teaching us.

Quick self-care check:

What's draining your energy right now? (People? Obligations? Your own thoughts??)

What's actually GIVING you energy? (And I don't mean coffee - valid though!)

Do MORE of B.

Do WAY LESS of A.

Rocket science? Nope.

Simple? Yes.

Powerful? ABSOLUTELY. 🚀

Why? Because self-care without self-honouring is just going through the motions.

You can rest but feel guilty the whole time. You can say no but over-explain for 10 minutes.

Real self-care happens when you HONOUR yourself - when you believe your needs matter just as much as anyone else's.

So this weekend: do what energises you AND respect yourself for doing it. 💚

When you're going through something painful, it is SO easy to spiral into that same old story that we always seem to tell ourselves -
'This always happens to me’, 'Nothing ever works out’ ...and even ‘What is WRONG with me’?!
(There isn't EVER anything wrong with you)

I know what it feels like to be in that position, and I know it feels like what we are telling ourselves in that moment is true.

But what I’ve learned from my own journey and from working with so many people is that we don't HAVE to buy into those thoughts.

What I mean by this is we don't have to accept them as true, we can learn to see them as just thoughts, just the way we have learned to protect ourselves in the past.

And once we take this on board, we can then choose to tell ourselves different things.

One of the first ways to do this, is to see the habit of outdated self protection(because it IS a habit and it IS outdated) ….and that's a HUGE win.

The next step is to call it out, ‘Oh, that's what I USED to say to myself’

Following from that, you get to say something like ‘now i choose what i want to tell myself, and i'm choosing….(whatever you like that makes you feel supported, grounded or just good!)

The moment you choose a slightly different story-even a TINY one-you interrupt that downward spiral.

This isn’t about "toxic positivity" or pretending everything is perfect when it feels rubbish. It’s simply about giving your mind and your nervous system a new frame of reference to look in.

Because every time you practice a gentle re-frame, you are literally creating new neural pathways.Moving from ‘I HAVE to feel safe!’ to the realisation of ‘Oh, I AM safe’

You deserve a story that lifts you up, not one that keeps weighing you down. 💛🌿✨

We often become what we practice thinking. ✨
So if you check your thoughts right now… where has your energy been leading you today? 🌿
And is that truly where you want to go? 💛

There's a saying - "The tree that bends in the wind has deep roots." And they're not wrong!

We often try to build a life from the 'outside in'.

So, we look OUTSIDE of us...for the right relationship, the validation, or the "perfect" time or situation, hoping that these external things will finally make us feel safe and steady on the INSIDE.

But when you sometimes doubt the value of your own needs, every effort you make on the outside may not be able to stand the test of time.

If we start at the root cause, we can begin to build the stability that you are looking for.

This is the true revolution of YOU.

It happens when psychology (understanding why the cracks are there... the wounds, the beliefs, the shame) meets spirituality (remembering/knowing that underneath the trauma and the conditioning, there is a YOU that has always been whole).

When this happens, everything has the potential for change:
👉You can stop molding yourself to fit into other people's worlds because you are finally standing firm in your own.
👉You can stop accepting anything that ISN'T love.
👉The outside world might still be chaotic. People might still be people. But when you come from a more solid foundation, it's easier for you to stay rooted.

That is the work.

It's quiet, it's deep, and it could be the most powerful thing you will ever do.

And the most precious gift you can give yourself💛

I'd love to hear from you, feel free to share your thoughts below!

I didn't realise how much I was rejecting myself for other people... until I stopped doing it.

Everything changed when I learned to rebuild the relationship with myself.

In this video, I'm sharing what that actually looks like-the real and tangible shifts that happened when I stopped abandoning myself for approval from others.

Things like:
✨ No longer looking outside myself for validation
✨ Building self trust in what I wanted to say
✨ Making decisions based on my perspective, and not everyone else's opinions
✨ Actually calming my nervous system instead of living in constant fear
✨ Treating myself with kindness instead of harsh self-criticism

Accessing this freedom is available to you too.

It's not reserved for the "lucky few."

It's a practice. And one that you can start today.

I'm Lesley - a relationship and self-esteem therapist, coach, and EMDR practitioner. And helping people build this relationship with themselves is exactly what I do.

If this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. 💚
