Lesley Nance Therapy

Lesley Nance Therapy Qualified therapist, coach and hypnotherapist helping women stop hiding and start trusting themselves. Free consultation available.

Specialising in self-worth, confidence and self-image, working at the level of belief, not just behaviour.
1:1 in person and online across the UK I'm a therapist helping women stop repeating patterns and start living differently. 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, s

aying yes when they mean no, or feeling not enough despite everything they've tried. Through 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.

How to prepare for a session with me - just bring yourself...

You can bring all of the good parts, and all of the 'not so' good parts, the fearful parts, the 'ugly' parts, the not good enough parts, the judgy parts, the over thinking parts, the 'put myself down' parts, the funny parts, the sad parts.

Just bring your ‘Self’

And maybe some water.😌

Confessions of a therapist: how I actually walk the walk.

And the 5 things I had to quit to do it.

1. Getting out of victim mindset, or feeling sorry for myself. It doesn't serve me one bit, and it isn’t pretty! This is a true time- waster and life’s too short for that!

2. Spending time with energy vampires. And if I had to? Then I HAD to learn how to protect myself by remembering that I have my experience, and they have theirs, so I try to see that they are just coming from their own pov. Or I could just limit my time with them!😉

3. Making everything a reflection of my worth. There is nothing that dictates my worth except me. My value as a human cannot be taken away by other people, it's mine, I have full control and if I gave away my power… well, then.. I’m just handing it over! (Don't do that😘)

4. Watching the news or consuming anything scary. I DO NOT want anything that scares me, makes me anxious, or puts me on edge in my psyche, you can keep it! Life already tries to scare the crap out of me, so I take care of the things that are in my control.

5. Reacting instead of responding. Still a work in progress! But this one has been a GAME-CHANGER for me. When I react to situations or circumstances, I know it's from my fear habit. So I've learned to recognise it, pull my s**t together (centre myself🙄) and choose to act or behave differently.

Try these yourself 👇 Or drop below what's worked for you - I'd love to know!

Therapy doesn't fix you.

YOU fix you.

But sometimes you need someone to stop letting you get away with your own bulls**t.

That's exactly what I do.

I can't believe I did this!🤣

I once had a kindle that had a dodgy charge point and struggled for years with it until I got a new one.

I charged it overnight but when I looked in the corner it said 22%.

I couldn't understand it, so I tried charging it again and still 22%.

Tried a different charger, practically forcing it into the point - I was really cheesed off and couldn't believe how unlucky I was to have another defective kindle!

Then I realised the 22% was how far I was into the book I was reading 🤣

When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing that you think about?

Are those thoughts serving you? How do they make you feel?
Are you thinking about an issue that you can't get past? Going over an old argument or fallout? Facing some kind of struggle that just seems endless?

I don't know about you, but those would leave me feeling pretty rubbish, and it's definitely not how I want to start my day.

But how do you stop?

What if I told you that these are just stories. Yes, they are painful, fearful, and heavy - but they are still just a story we repeat. The overthinking, spiralling, that constrictive feeling...giving you headaches or a tight chest.

A lot of what we do comes down to habit and decision. Just because a thought is there the second your brain switches on for the day, doesn't mean you have to follow its lead.

We are powerful human beings, and we actually get to decide what we want to focus on.

When thoughts show up that aren't serving you, you don't have to entertain them. Notice them, decide if they're helpful, and then choose something different.

You get to decide which thoughts are actually worth your energy.

Starting with one thought at a time.

Do you ever find yourself playing it safe?

I shared a story at work about how, despite being the youngest of 7, I didn't learn conflict resolution skills, and it got me wondering how this may have affected my fear of being seen, being scared of getting something wrong and being called out for it.

I played it safe all my life not really realising why, I just knew I was scared to be me.

A few years ago I lost my job, I lost my relationship, and I lost my dad, and that really put things into perspective for me.

I knew I had to change how I saw myself once and for all.

It wasn't going to be easy and I felt petrified some days doing hard stuff, but eventually I learned that despite being so scared, it was more important for me to be true to myself in order to live boldly as me rather than to keep trying to earn approval from everyone else, knowing that their opinions had nothing to do with me.

People are gonna think and do what they wanna do whatever happens - I can't stop that.

But now I know that my worth isn't dependent on them.

I still feel scared sometimes to show up as authentic, that's just habit, but I find a way to do the thing anyway.

I'd love to know if you recognise yourself in any of this, and what you do to change your situation?

I work with women just like you
..because I've been there.

I knew I wanted more from life… but something kept holding me back. And while it's not always clear what that “something” is, I knew deep down it was fear of being seen, being judged and being vulnerable.

Becoming a version of me that had the life I wanted vs who I was, felt like they were worlds apart.

And I know that distance can feel impossible to cross.

So now I help other women close that distance.
