• Our approach

  Lindy Abelsohn works with children using evidence-based practice tailored to each child's individual needs. Sessions emphasise realistic, practical strategies that parents can apply at home, drawing on in-depth knowledge of human development. She helps children struggling with self-esteem, social and emotional difficulties to reach their full potential. The approach includes a strong parenting component, with support for establishing appropriate behaviour patterns and building resilience. Lindy also collaborates with medical, allied health and educational professionals to achieve holistic outcomes for each child.

• Working with families

  Lindy works closely with parents as part of her therapeutic approach, offering behaviour support, help with building self-esteem and resilience, and guidance on emotion regulation and positive parenting. She emphasises realistic strategies that parents can apply at home and offers parenting support alongside work with children. The service includes collaboration with school and daycare staff when relevant. Parents are actively involved in establishing appropriate behaviour patterns and supporting their child's development.
