Lesley Nance Therapy

Lesley Nance Therapy I help women build self-esteem and change the patterns keeping them stuck. I'm a therapist helping women stop repeating patterns and start living differently.

Using therapy, coaching and hypnotherapy, we uncover what’s driving those patterns, including around food, self-image, confidence and weight. I work with clients who may be insightful and self-aware, but still find themselves stuck in familiar cycles - choosing situations or people that aren't right for them, saying yes when they mean no, or feeling not enough despite everything they've tried. Thr

ough an integrative approach that blends counselling and coaching, we move from insight to action. This work is direct, supportive, and focused on real change - not endless processing. Based in Manchester, working with clients across the UK and worldwide online. Free consultation available.

Ever notice how we just go through life accepting who we are as fact?

“I've always been like this.”
“This is just who I am.”
“I can't change.”

But is it? Can you?

Is that actually who you are?

Or is it a story you've told yourself for so long that you believe it now?

Just because we tell ourselves something doesn't make it true, even if we DO believe it.

Maybe some of the things you've decided are just “you” deserve another look. ❤️

Who are you saying that you are? 👇

Sometimes we think we’re saying yes because we genuinely want to.

But if their disappointment, reaction or opinion wasn’t in the equation…

Would you still choose it?

Because sometimes the hardest part of saying no isn’t knowing what you want.

It’s being okay with someone else not liking your answer.

Be honest - if they genuinely didn’t mind you saying no…

Would you still say yes?

Maybe saying no isn't as much about protecting their feelings as it is about protecting how you see yourself. 👀

What story are you still telling yourself about who you are?

What if guilt isn't telling you that you've done something wrong?

What if it's telling you that you've just broken one of your own rules about what a “good” person does?

If you've built your identity around being kind, reliable and never letting anyone down, saying no can feel like you're betraying the person you believe you are.

And then that voice starts to kick in:

“Look at you being selfish. Maybe you're not the decent person you thought you were.”

So you backtrack.

Because you don't like what saying no makes you think about yourself.

You're not just saying yes for them.

You're saying yes to protect your own opinion of yourself.

And that's the bit that needs challenging.

Because guilt isn't proof you've done something wrong.

Sometimes it's just what happens when you stop playing by your own old rules. 😉

If you're ready to question the rules you've been living by, send me a DM. 💛

Now the kids have pretty much flown the nest, this 48kg fella takes up most of my heart and daily life, I mean he's pretty hard to miss!

We’ve just found out he has chronic pancreatitis, gastritis, hip dysplasia, and arthritis. So, we are entering into a new phase!

The last few days have been spent hunting for specialised dog food that barely seems to exist, batch-cooking and mashing up veggies, and trying to invent new snacks so he doesn't miss his old ones.

I'm also keeping a beady eye on what he might accidentally eat, but I'm not going to stress over it too much (I hope!)

He’s eight now, and even when life throws us a curve ball with what I assume will be a massive change in our lives, he still melts me inside every day.

Pups are family too! Agree? 🐾❤️

Other people’s opinions aren't rules for your life. When you constantly live by them, you’re just living their life instead of yours.

Your opinion of yourself is the only one that actually matters.

Drop a 🩷 in the comments if you're ready to start trusting your own voice.

Why do I keep saying yes when I really want to say no?

Because sometimes saying no feels like you’re risking rejection. So it doesn’t matter what YOU want. You automatically say what you think they want to hear.

You’ve probably done it for so long that it feels natural now. Its only afterwards that you realise you’ve done it and you feel like you’ve completely sold yourself out afterwards.

But imagine having a moment to think before automatically saying yes.

A moment to ask yourself: Is this actually what I want?

There is a world where you get to do that.

A world where you can say no without worrying all day that you’ve upset someone.

Where you stop agreeing to things you don't actually want to do, freeing up more time and energy for you.

Where you can kiss goodbye the self-blame and kicking yourself for giving in again.

What would that be like for you?

Let me know in the comments.💚

I don't believe confidence needs to be built.

You are already complete.

You’ve just been innocently buried by years of external messaging and drowning in other people’s speech bubbles telling you who to be, what to think, and what you’re capable of achieving.

Remembering confidence, is remembering who you were before all of that.

Stripping away the conditioning to who you’ve always been from the moment you were born.

If this is a new way of thinking about yourself, let me know in the comments. 💛

For me, our daily walks are just giving me the chance of some fresh air and stretching my legs.

For Ash, it’s a full-on adventure every single time.

That's not to be sniffed at!

Good reminder that there’s always another way to look at the exact same thing.

Curious to know - what are you doing today that you could see differently?
