About Leslie
BACP, 12 years' experience. Leslie Milne works with people on relationship problems, family conflict, grief and loss, low self-esteem and depression. She uses practical counselling approaches and short-term strategies alongside more in-depth work where needed.
Leslie draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's experience and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Imago Relationship Therapy inform her work around attachment and communication in close relationships.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Leslie aims to help clients talk through feelings, notice patterns, and develop small changes that make daily life more manageable. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems, as well as practical concerns like divorce, blended family stress and substance-related difficulties.
She also supports people dealing with body image, eating-related issues, guilt and shame, and the emptiness that can follow major life changes. Mindfulness techniques are used at times to help with grounding and emotion regulation.
Leslie practises in the United Kingdom and conducts work in English. The counselling process begins with a short questionnaire and an initial session to agree goals and a plan. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used in online counselling with Leslie Milne
Leslie uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person's experience and what they want to address. This approach means sessions are led by the client's concerns and pace, and it helps when someone needs to talk things through and clarify feelings.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT work tends to include practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, helpful for depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the counselling work. Leslie will discuss different options and agree a plan together, matching methods to the person's goals and preferences so the work stays relevant and practical.
