About Leslie
Leslie Milne is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with relationship difficulties, family concerns, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Leslie also supports people coping with guilt and shame alongside issues like abandonment, attachment worries and communication problems.
Leslie uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to help people understand what keeps them stuck. She listens for the patterns in relationships and in the way someone talks to themself. Sessions draw on Client-Centred methods and practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to make sense of thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
For relationship problems she brings elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy to look at how partners connect and misconnect. For low mood and grief she combines these relational ideas with mindfulness practices to manage distress and focus attention in the moment.
Sessions aim to be practical and readable. People can expect to talk through recent events and longer standing themes, try short exercises during and between sessions, and notice small changes in thinking or behaviour. Leslie adapts what she offers as conversations progress.
Her approach is plain and respectful. She encourages people to name the shame or guilt they carry and to examine how those feelings affect relationships and choices. If you want to know how she works with a specific concern, the next step is to complete the short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Leslie draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on your perspective and emotional experience, helping you speak about what matters most. That approach centres the client's view and supports clearer self-expression. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small experiments to shift mood and behaviour. CBT provides concrete steps for problems like low mood, rumination, and worry.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships are central, attending to how emotions shape interactions and helping people name and respond to core feelings. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative. Leslie will work with you to choose methods that fit your goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single style.
Confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking. When arranging online work, consider practical benefits such as fitting sessions around work or family life, avoiding travel time, and choosing quieter surroundings. Phone sessions can make check-ins easier when video is difficult, while video allows face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt materials and short between-session tasks to suit remote work, and Leslie will help pick what fits your day-to-day life.
