Mrs Lesley Wood Consani

Counselor

I am an experienced Counsellor, Hypnotherapist, Nutritionist and DNA health counsellor. I have been in private practice since 2004. I use a combination of Solution Focused Therapy with NLP and general counselling.

About Me

I offer a comprehensive approach to your well-being, blending my skills as a Counsellor, Hypnotherapist, Nutritionist, and DNA health counsellor. I help clients navigate challenges by integrating insights from these diverse fields. We can explore practical solutions together using Solution Focused Therapy. This approach is ideal for those seeking personalised, holistic support for their mind and body.

Approach

Combining those perspectives, therapy unfolds as an active, short-term process that sets clear, practical goals while still allowing space for deeper reflection. In my Zurich consulting room and via secure online sessions in English we meet at a steady, collaborative pace—weekly or fortnightly to suit your life. Sessions focus on small, testable changes: language shifts, brief guided relaxation, stress-management practices and nutrition- or DNA-informed experiments between meetings to see what truly helps. This way of working often suits people managing body image, relocation stress, anxiety or burnout.
