My name is Lesley Cook. I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, practicing in South and West London.

Thank you for viewing my website! If you are researching counselling and psychotherapy I would assume that there is some area of your life that is causing you unease.  Whatever the issue, I hope you take the time to read on.

I have a personal belief that successful therapy for the client cannot only be rated by qualification and orientation of the therapist. The gift of being a skilled communicator and the ability to connect is key to identifying the singular needs of each individual. From having the space just to be listened to and heard; to dealing with deep childhood experiences which is preventing a happy existence. We become the people we are through the relationships we have experienced from the beginning of our lives to present day.

I have a wealth of experience in dealing with many of the issues that can cause emotional anxiety in today’s world, also a special interest in working with addiction having worked with alcohol/drug  addicted clients. I have a deep understanding of the 12 step programme of recovery therefore I can work well with clients who are already following this philosophy.

• Addiction
• Coping with Stress, Anxiety or Bereavement
• Career, Life Choices and Change
• Depression
• Grief and Loss
• Healing Childhood Issues
• Mental Health Issues
• Relationship and Personal Issues
• Self Esteem and Confidence
• Social Anxiety Disorder
