About Lesley

I’m Lesley Wootten. I work with people who feel stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change – even though they know what to do.

You might recognise it:

People usually come to see me when insight, effort or willpower haven’t been enough to create lasting change.

My work focuses on understanding why the pattern exists – and helping the part of you running it update, rather than trying to override it.

I work in a calm, collaborative and insight-led way, using the non-trance CONTROL Method, and hypnotherapy where it supports the process.

Before moving into therapeutic work in 2011, I spent many years in corporate environments.

Across different roles and settings, I kept noticing the same thing – the same patterns repeating.

People weren’t lacking knowledge or effort.
They were often stuck in responses that had made sense at some point, but no longer fit their life now.

That stayed with me.

It led me to explore how the mind actually works – and how those patterns can be understood and updated, rather than fought or overridden.

I work calmly and in partnership.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start.
Most people don’t.

You don’t need to relive the past,
or explain everything in detail.

We focus on what’s happening now,
and work with the part of you that’s actually running the pattern.

Change tends to happen when that part updates –
not through pressure or trying harder.

If something here resonates,
you’re very welcome to get in touch.

You don’t need to have it all worked out –
just a sense that you’d like things to feel different.

I’ve written for FitPro Magazine, exploring how subconscious patterns influence behaviour – even when we “know better”.
