About Lesley McDonald
I run a busy Hypnotherapy and Coaching practice from Morningside in Edinburgh. I always make time to talk to prospective clients before accepting a booking because I know how important it is to feel comfortable with a therapist and the only way to discover if you’re comfortable is to talk with them before you book your appointment. This also means that you can ask any the questions you may have so that you can make an educated choice about who you want to see.
As I am busy with clients, my phone will often be answered by a member of my answering service. I will get back to you either in between clients or at the end of the day, so that I can be sure that I have time to give you the attention you need.
My training, work experience and any achievement
I have worked as a hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner for many years and so have a wealth of practical experience as well as a great deal of expert professional training. I am also a qualified NLP Trainer myself which means I am fully accredited to train and certify people as NLP Practitioners and Master Practitioners.
