About
Lesley Papper is an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (https://www.bacp.co.uk/therapists/398883/lesley-papper/). She has nine years of clinical experience and has worked in a variety of settings.
She currently works with Betterhelp and also maintains an independent private practice. Lesley can be contacted at [email protected].
Lesley offers a warm, accepting, and confidential space for individuals who want to explore therapy. She recognises that each person responds to life’s challenges in different ways, and that coping strategies which once helped can sometimes become harmful to one’s wellbeing.
While acknowledging how difficult it can be to change entrenched patterns, she believes people have the capacity and resources to find healthier ways of managing. Lesley is committed to working with immediate concerns as well as longer-term goals in collaboration with each client.
When appropriate, she and the client may explore how a difficulty began in order to better understand emotions, thoughts, and behaviours both in the past and in the present. Lesley supports clients through this process and encourages self-acceptance and self-care as a foundation for change.
Within the therapeutic relationship she invites clients to take stock of their lives and to view themselves with kindness, creating space to express and explore past and present experiences with the aim of taking positive steps toward a happier future.
Lesley has worked with people living with grief, low mood, depression, addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, stress, and survivors of sexual violence. She has also supported clients with hidden disabilities and physical disabilities, and has experience working with neurodiverse clients navigating life in a world that primarily caters for neurotypical people.
She offers short-term or longer-term therapy, working at the client’s pace and agenda. Her emphasis is on helping clients build resilience and structure with the aim of bringing about lasting therapeutic change. Lesley enjoys her work and looks forward to working together.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
A major advantage is flexibility - clients can choose the mode of connection that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapists providing online support are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical, effective way to access skilled therapeutic support when it is needed.
