Meet Linda

Linda is a Clinical Psychologist, EMDR practitioner and Psychology Board of Australia approved supervisor, with 16 years experience in private practice. She began her career in the helping professions as a registered nurse in the late 1980s, where she learned that genuine connection with others has a profound healing power for both physical and emotional pain. This led her to study psychology part-time while raising her family, eventually completing her Masters of Clinical Psychology.

In addition to university education, Linda has studied Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Hypnosis, Mindfulness-Based therapies (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-integrated CBT) and Narrative Therapy. In recent years Linda has been drawn to understand how past experiences and memories often underly current difficulties, and she enjoys working within the framework of EMDR, while integrating other therapies to provide individualised treatment.  Linda has a passion for providing quality therapy through her private practice in Mona Vale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, and via the internet.

Linda is not accepting new referrals for the remainder of 2024, except for the ‘Being Mums’ group, or therapists seeking supervision.
