Miss Dempsey Lengden

Counselor

“Hi, I’m Dempsey! ​ I am a qualified and professional integrative counsellor / therapist and I am a professional member of the BACP, working ethically with my clients best interests at the heart of my work. I specialise in Anxiety, Self Esteem and Confidence, and Stress and Burnout.”

About Me

I specialise in supporting those grappling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or stress and burnout. When life feels overwhelming, I offer a calm space to explore what truly matters to you. We work together to develop practical strategies. My aim is to help you find renewed confidence and a clearer path forward.

Approach

Feeling overwhelmed can make choices blur, so I focus on small, clear steps that build trust and safety while we untangle what you’re facing. I work with adolescents and adults from my Stockport practice and online, keeping sessions paced to your needs and flexible around school, work or parenting. Sessions blend reflective dialogue with gentle, practical exercises and short between-session tasks so anxiety becomes manageable and confidence grows. People juggling study, work or caring roles often find this steady, hands-on approach helpful.
