About Pam Leslie

I offer counselling for young people, students and adults. Working from a peaceful practice room in Bath for short (6-8 weeks) or longer-term therapy.

When there is a problem that needs talking through, we can work together to find a way forward. Sometimes it takes a while to get there, other times a few sessions can give you enough to carry on.

Emotions such as sadness, stress and anxiety or the symptoms of depression can be looked at in depth, working gently on developing a clearer and stronger sense of yourself both practically and emotionally. Getting to a place of understanding the cause of depression (if you dont know it ) and how to make a shift in how you approach it so that you can move into a different place.

If traumatic events have been experienced, the symptoms of the stress can cause many side effects, including sleeplessness and other health issues. I can offer tools to help reduce the impact of stress on both the mind and body.

As each individual is unique and needs different ways of working, I can use integrative and humanistic models that can for example, help each person resolve inner conflict and help find a new perspective. Also working psycho dynamically, its possible to look at how the past has impacted on the present and how to resolve negative patterns of thinking and being.

For over twenty-five years I have worked in the health and wellbeing professions (teaching yoga and working with body therapies) I also have worked as a therapist the Stress Management unit at London Bridge Hospital.
