Lesley Palm COSCA, BACP registered member
About me
Hi I am Lesley and I realise it takes courage to take this first step, a step to change. Life can go through periods of intense difficulty and pain, and it can feel overwhelming. I provide a gentle approach, which is led by you at your own pace.
I consider it a privilege to work beside you on your journey to a more rewarding and fulfilling life. The first consultation is a free half hour on zoom or the telephone.
Email or call me to make an appointment, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I offer face-to-face sessions as well as remote counselling via SKYPE or any other methods.
I feel that the most important factor in counselling is the relationship between a client and myself. I offer a free initial consultation for the purpose of getting to know one another and making sure that our personal styles are compatible.
I have been counselling at a doctor’s surgery since June 2017, seeing a wide variety of clients and I also volunteer at Addictions Counselling Inverness.
I am also a qualified Life coach and Mindfulness teacher.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered counsellor through COSCA and BACP . I am also a qualified Life Coach where I studied at Cambridge.
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC.
It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
