About me

Lesley qualified from University of Strathclyde in 1995 and began her career working in primary care settings in GP surgeries in Glasgow and Lanarkshire. During this time, she supported patients with both physical and mental health issues. Lesley continued her studies achieving a further post graduate award in 1998, specific to working in primary care settings. Working with senior consultants within the Gartnavel trust, she was instrumental in developing and evaluating pilot schemes within GP practice and Occupational Health. This project subsequently became the forerunner for the primary care counselling services on offer today in Scotland.
