Lesley Gardiner

Therapist
  • CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
I am Lesley Gardiner, a registered BACP counsellor working in London SW4, Brighton & Hove and online. I provide a safe, calm and confidential environment where together we can identify, explore and work with issues that may be troubling or overwhelming you. At some stage in our lives we may all hit a low point or crisis. Depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, separation, bereavement, illness, relationship issues, work-related issues and other profound life challenges can leave us feeling sad, distraught, helpless or hopeless. Counselling offers you a confidential and safe space to talk. It supports you in developing ways to cope and improve things.

My background
I have worked with clients within the NHS Talking Therapies service, helping them with a range of issues. I particularly welcome clients dealing with LGBTQ+ issues and those coping with chronic illness.
I have undergone rigorous training in Integrative Humanistic Counselling, an holistic approach which aims to support clients in realising their potential. I too have undergone extensive counselling so understand how difficult it can be to take that first step. You are welcome to email me to discuss your current situation and set up a free initial 20 minute zoom or telephone call.
