Leslie Bookless

I’ve worked as an integrative psychotherapist since 2005. I am warm, calm and curious, and aim to create a safe space for you to explore whatever issues bring you to this page.

Therapy can be about processing trauma or pain from the past. Or it can be about getting to know yourself better, unraveling stuck patterns of behaviour that are holding you back.

As an integrative therapist I draw on many disciplines including humanistic, relational, psychodynamic, and somatic.

Everyone is unique and I am guided by you as to what works best for you. I don’t sit in silence,  hoping to enter  into a dialogue where you have the platform to initiate your own changes. 

My initial training in therapy  was 5 years at Regent’s University. I have a PG diploma in Counselling and psychotherapy and an Advanced diploma in Integrative psychotherapy. I have a previous BA Hons degree. 

I have continued with professional development training in many areas including transpersonal, neuropsychology, bilateral movement therapy, parts work, poly vagal, mindfulness. I have regular supervision and work within an ethical framework as set out in the codes of practice of my professional body

I work from Barnsbury Therapy Rooms, which is a short walk from Angel and Highbury and Islington tubes. I also offer online consultations. 

If I have a regular time that suits you, I’ll offer you an initial no strings attached 50 minute consultation in which you can tell me what brings you to me at this time and your hopes from therapy.

 You will get a sense of me and how I work and I can answer any questions you may have. If I think I may be a suitable therapist for you, and you like me, I will offer you an initial number of sessions, usually weekly. 

During the initial period we will review whether to continue with a set number of sessions or to work on a more open-ended basis. Nothing is set in stone and we review and check in with how the therapy is working for you as we go along.

All ongoing sessions are 50 minutes.
