Hello,

I’m Lesley, Alchemy’s founder. I am an Accredited Family Mediator and Child Inclusive Mediator. I am also a registered Family Consultant, Psychotherapist and Coach.

I began working privately as a Psychotherapist nearly 20 years ago, having trained for four years. I then trained as a Family Mediator in 2011 and founded Alchemy in 2012.

In 2013 I qualified as a Child Inclusive Mediator and in 2015 I completed my training as a Family Consultant.

Before starting on this path I had many years experience in senior management in the corporate world, my roles always revolved around building relationships and managing change. I loved that aspect of my work but it didn’t have enough meaning or heart for me – I decided to change course at the turn of the century and I haven’t looked back.

Over the years the work I do has evolved and now brings together a unique blend of skills, experience and wisdom to create a safe and welcoming space for guidance, calm and transformation at a time of difficulty and turbulence in people’s lives.
