Mr Yousaf has faced an onslaught of criticism from within his own party and the public over his stance on gender and green issues since taking up the post.
Embattled Humza Yousaf has said counselling and practising ‘mindfulness’ has helped him cope with the demands of being First Minister.
The First Minister’s openness about his experience with counselling comes after he disclosed at an Edinburgh Festival Fringe event in August that he had sought support when he was Transport Minister.Mr Yousaf says that counselling has given him resilience to do the job ‘I don’t need to do it weekly as I was doing in the past, but people shouldn’t wait until a crisis moment to access counselling. I haven’t done it yet, but I was just mentioning to my wife that it would be a good thing for me to do.’
Another said: ‘We need to return to having a competent government and scrap nonsense policies like gender reform. Focus on what really matters to people, like housebuilding programmes or sorting out massive fiscal black holes in public services.Asked why he put himself at the centre of the by-election campaign given the risk of losing the seat, Mr Yousaf said: ‘I made a virtue of being not just the First Minister but the First Activist.
