About Lesley

Lesley Parfitt is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist who specialises in eating disorders and clinical hypnotherapy. She works with an integrative, depth-oriented lens while tailoring approaches to each person's needs, drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic, Jungian and cognitive-behavioural ideas to form a pluralistic practice that blends theory and technique.

Her primary orientation is psychodynamic, emphasising understanding underlying patterns and emotional experience, yet she adapts and combines methods that best support the individual. Lesley incorporates somatic experiencing, Gestalt, transactional analysis, Jungian analysis and polyvagal theory into her work, allowing for attention to body-based responses, relational patterns and unconscious material alongside more structured interventions.

Alongside therapeutic training she is a Registered 550Hrs Yoga Teacher and Breathwork Facilitator with a focus on trauma-informed and menopause-supportive practices, and she holds a Menopause Wellness Coach certification. Lesley also facilitates women’s circles and offers training and coaching in that capacity. Her practice aims to meet people where they are and to blend practical tools with deeper exploration so clients can address eating concerns, trauma, relationship issues and related emotional difficulties.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed in early life and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional safety. It helps people who struggle with attachment issues, relationship difficulties and responses to loss or separation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that explores how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, panic and unhelpful coping strategies, offering tools to shift patterns and build new skills.

Hypnotherapy works with focused attention and guided imagery to explore habit patterns, body-focused responses and deeply held beliefs. In clinical practice it can be used alongside other methods to support issues such as disordered eating, stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lesley works collaboratively to identify what fits best for each person. She and the client discuss goals, preferences and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan as understanding grows.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt approaches for remote delivery.
