She assists clients in managing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, substance misuse issues, grief, assertiveness, anger, bullying and post-natal depression

Lindsay also has extensive experience in addressing personal and professional relationship issues, helping clients navigate workplace dynamics, set boundaries, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections.

In addition to her expertise in behavioural and substance use issues, including supporting those in 12 step recovery. Lindsay is passionate about supporting individuals recovering from trauma, including complex PTSD, childhood emotional neglect, bullying, and childhood sexual and physical abuse.

Resilience Building and Sensitivity Support
