Welcome to Alchemy

where change can happen

MEDIATION, COACHING, THERAPY

Whatever has led you here, it is likely you are looking for help and guidance through a period of change, transition or crisis, or perhaps to help you make changes in the way you feel. In which case, you are in the right place.

My name is Lesley and I have been a family mediator for over twelve years and a psychotherapist for two decades. During that time I have gained a depth of knowledge and a wealth of experience in guiding clients to clarity, calm and ultimately change.

“The possibilities that exist between two people, or among a group of people, are a kind of alchemy. They are the most interesting thing in life”.

— Adrienne Rich

  • "The mediation process was very beneficial at a difficult time. I felt we were in a ‘safety net’ which helped remove much of the angst and drama. Your interventions were hugely insightful and really helped remove the ‘heat’ from certain topics. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and have already done so! A huge thank you for the last few months guidance and support, it was a real benefit to us both."
