Leslie Lawrence - marriage & relationship counsellor reviews
3 Where to begin.
It is fair to say that Leslie played an incredibly important role in helping to mend my relationship at a time when my world was upside down. My partner and I were together but lost, and we desperately needed a guiding hand, which Leslie very capably provided.
A key effort I believe was crucial during this time was that Leslie remained pro-relationship, never taking sides, and yet was still able to speak to us and empathise with us individually. And from there, was able to help and guide us both to a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other.
My partner has typically been very closed-off to situations that include self reflection, such as counselling. And very much held a stereotypical opinion of what this experience would look like - Sitting across from a grey corporate-type, holding a clipboard and casting judgements on us in some windowless office room. However, in every session with Leslie, we are invited into her home, offered a cup of tea and a biscuit, and sit down together in a lovely open living space which overlooks the surrounding parkland. It is very peaceful and relaxing.
On paper, Leslie offers a caring and understanding space to verbalise difficult emotions, discuss grievances, acknowledge truths, and work towards happiness and positive outcomes. However, in reality she gives so much more; her empathy is genuine, her understanding is from experience, and her ability to guide is both educated and instinctive.
I think the best praise I could possibly offer, is that I have felt very comfortable to be vulnerable during these sessions with Leslie - Something that does not come naturally to me. And I know my partner felt similarly, which has been an incredibly transformative experience for her.
Whether you feel your relationship would benefit from a quick "check-in", or you feel completely lost and broken, I could not recommend a chat with Leslie highly enough.
My partner and I were recently (and very happily) married.
Leslie has a lot of knowledge.we had such an amazing experience with her and left feel positive, supported and with a lot of clarity. I have not experienced such a beneficial session as i did with Leslie.my partner was sceptical at first but he left feeling amazing and now is confident to see her again whenever we need to. She always caters to our needs no matter the time it takes and she is always available which is not traditional in my experience anywhere else. We appreciate her support, Thankyou Leslie. I'm sure anyone that see's her will have the same experience as us.
A very knowledgeable counsellor who has had such a positive impact on myself. Leslie has always gone above and beyond to help with any issue I’ve had. She is not only a great counsellor but a great person as well who genuinely cares for her patients. Highly recommend.
