Her work has as its focus the care, support and rehabilitation of brain-injured clients, people of all ages with developmental disabilities, those dealing with mental illness and/or dual diagnosis, and those encountering life-threatening illness.
Lesley lectures, conducts workshops and teaches at individual, family, group and community levels, using an array of supportive modalities including guided imagery, creative visualization, autogenic training techniques and meditation.
Since 2001, Lesley has worked with Uniting Care Supported Living as a support co-ordinator with the Independent Living team, assisting people with intellectual disability/dual diagnosis to live fulfilling, fruitful lives within their community.
In her work as a stress management consultant, Lesley assists people who are dealing with anxiety states, loss and bereavement, high blood pressure, headaches and chronic pain, weight issues and low self esteem.
People who attend her workshops are empowered, as they learn a repertoire of skills and techniques designed to reduce anxiety and stress, and to promote a sense of inner strength, peace and calm.
