Low-cost Counselling on-line and in person in Grange over Sands or Kendal
Hello, I'm Lessane Afonso, a Psychotherapist-in-training based in Grange over Sands. As a trainee I can offer low-cost counselling at the client's home in Grange, at the Porchlight Practice in Kendal, or online.
We all face challenges in our lives and therapy can be a source of emotional support, a way to cultivate self-compassion and understanding, and as a by-product we can gain clarity and healing.
Through our work together, my role is to meet you wherever you are in your journey and offer you a safe space, from there you can lay the foundation to achieve desirable and sustainable growth and change.
Psychosynthesis has a psycho-spiritual approach, in that context, I work with clients who are searching for meaning, who desire to improve their relationships and who want to invite love and joy into their lives.
Individuals may seek therapy for a variety of reasons, such as current dilemmas, addictions, anxiety, emotional imbalances, relationship difficulties, grief due to a loss of a loved one or a more succinct kind of loss, such as a life changing circumstance in regards to health or career, for example.
Or when they go through a classic mid-life crisis, which doesn't necessarily happen in the middle of one's life, as we may have a crisis of meaning at any age.
Some may choose therapy to enhance personal growth and contextualise deeper knowledge, such as insights gained by experiencing altered states of consciousness (ASC) through breath-work, meditation, psychedelics or shamanic practices. I am interested in supporting individuals in their integration phase, which is where the knowledge can be alchemised into applicable wisdom.
A resourceful therapist can support you to navigate deeper into these challenges and guide you out of them, most importantly, in your own pace and according to your willingness. You can then gain a sense of agency and move from a place of confusion and inertia into being the conductor of your life.
I am a Psychotherapist-in-training currently on my third year as an MA Student at the Institute of Psychosynthesis, University of Middlesex.
I live in Grange over Sands where I also work part-time as a District Nurse.
Back in my home country I completed a teaching degree in Languages and taught English in secondary schools until I moved to the UK in 2007, where I initially worked as a Healthcare Assistant in London and subsequently did an Adult Nursing degree at the University of Greenwich.
In my personal search for physical and emotional healing I found yoga, meditation and therapy, and over the past decade these powerful tools have become a way of living.
My professional life has always been about service, that is my passion and my Soul call. Now I am settled in beautiful South Cumbria, at the service of the local community.

I offer a free 20-minute phone or video introductory call. You will be able to ask me questions and tell me a bit about why you are thinking about therapy. We can explore whether we feel like a good fit to work together.
We can then organise an initial consultation which will be an extension of the call. I'll ask gentle questions about you and your life. This session will be 1 hour long, it can either be in person or online.
Therapy will be weekly for one hour, for three sessions, initially. We will then review our suitability after these three sessions and potentially carry on.
We will agree on a day and time that suits us both. Typically we'll meet on the same day at the same time for our regular session, however some flexibility may be available.
The introductory 30-minute zoom call will be free of charge.
Weekly sessions are at a reduced rate of £30 and further concession might be available.
Payment is expected to be made weekly prior to our session, paid via bank transfer. Cancelations or changes can be made up to 48h before the sessions.
