Lesley specialises in hypnotherapy for sports performance, helping you to use the confidence you have in your game to the very best of your ability.

Hypnosis is best described as a deep state of relaxation and focused attention. It is neither sleep nor unconsciousness; it is an altered state of awareness otherwise referred to as a ‘trance state’. This gives access to the subconscious part of the mind — which at this stage is wonderfully open to constructive and creative suggestions — allowing a positive shift in your thoughts, emotions and wellbeing. Uncertainty and ever-changing circumstances lead to emotional changes, anxiety, depression, anger and various other emotional reactions, all of which can lead to ill health.

She also works with and pain management and needle phobia, ie for pre-operative to help you prepare mentally for surgery.

Lesley has been helping people for 15 years. She is a great advocate of the power of positive thinking and is dedicated to improving her clients’ lives in any aspect in which they seek help.

Lesley can help you achieve a happier, healthier mindset, working with you on areas such as depression, anxiety, lack of confidence, addictions and even weight management. Helping you to be a better version of who you are and achieve those life goals.
