Kirsten Leslie
I have over 30 years' experience in statutory, private and NHS psychological services and nursing, with an extensive understanding of working in a bespoke way with emotional difficulties. I managed an Occupational Health department for over 15 years, where I also held a senior psychotherapist clinical and managerial post while working at a strategic level.
I am fairly direct. We will spend the first session working out what is actually going on, and you will leave with my honest view of whether I can help. If I cannot, I will say so and give you a name.
The rest is unhurried. Weekly, same time, for as long as it is useful.
I am an accredited registered member of the BACP. I follow the BACP ethical framework, adhere to confidentiality, and work in an effective, non-judgemental setting. I am also a member of NCP, ICG, SOM and UMHAN.
