Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness 

Welcome! I’m Alice Leslie, a Cognitive Behaviour Psychotherapist and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Teacher with 10 years of experience in NHS mental health services. Together with my specialist team of associates, we are committed to providing compassionate and authentic support to those in need.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of individuals and groups, helping adults navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, panic, phobias, and other adjustment difficulties. I currently lead various mindfulness and wellbeing groups aimed maintaining good mental health and treating depression and anxiety, both within the NHS and in private practice.

With a particular passion for supporting women during pregnancy and the perinatal period, I am a perinatal specialist for the NHS and in my private practice. Our team are able to offer specialist care as we understand the biological, social and emotional challenges inherent in this period.

Our therapeutic approach emphasizes non-judgment and encouragement, grounded in the belief that everyone is valuable and deserves a life that reflects this worth. We are passionate about the transformative benefits of CBT and mindfulness, and we love working with individuals and groups to foster reflection, change, healing, and growth.

Testimonials

  • “There’s a lot of anxiety in the room for our digital job seekers -  preparing for job interviews, presenting ideas and networking are new challenges. Alice brought language and tools for the anxiety around this. This was normalising and light hearted but substantial. We took away practical compassionate tips and tools on how to get the best out of ourselves. Our last cohort of 20 got a huge amount out of two workshops with Alice. We look forward to working with her again.”

  • “Alice asks gentle but pertinent questions which I'd never have thought of reflecting on. She gets me to think about old issues in new ways and find paths to solutions. She's insightful and refreshing and has a thoroughly modern look on life.”

  • "Finally tackling my OCD in pregnancy was frightening - I'm so pleased I did. It's all too easy to normalise worries in pregnant women - no one should have to live with anxiety and thoughts like mine! Thank you Alice for being so kind, approachable and empathic. You helped me find the courage I needed to respond differently to my anxiety and my life is much improved”
