Lydia has over 30 years of experience as a practitioner – currently as a registered psychologist in Alberta, following from 4 years in Ottawa (2014-2018), and 20 years as registered psychologist in Australia (1994-2014); and in Florida before that.

She works with individuals, couples and groups building resilience and promoting psychological wellbeing; on issues ranging from anxiety and depression, stress and burnout, grief, trauma, relationship related, sport and performance, and with those facing health challenges.

Lydia is holistically minded in her approach to psychological issues and wellbeing, and has contributed to the RMIT University Masters of Wellness program in Australia, where she taught an online course on Positive Psychology for ten years. She is also author of the book Imagine: Using mental imagery to reach your full potential and associated guided imagery recordings. See book & audio page on Soulinmotion.ca.

Her forthcoming book is called: When there’s an image, there’s a way: The art and science of imagination and intuition. The title is a twist on the more common expression of When there’s a will, there’s a way. Unfortunately, Will is a limited resource. Whereas Imagination and Intuition are virtually UNLIMITED. The book covers how we can better activate both to our advantage.Not least of which as antidotes to over-thinking (paralysis by analysis), rumination, and worrying that get in our way… She explains the neuroscientific basis of what keeps us stuck, and how to shake off past conditioning and default tendencies, to overreacting less, and creating new ways of being more aligned with what is in our best interests.

Lydia draws on a variety of modalities in her practice that includes: - Applied Neuroplasticity as a certified Master (Mnpn) Neuroplastician® - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - Mindfulness-Based - Positive Psychotherapy - Psychodynamic - Coaching psychology, and - Transpersonal psychology. She integrates her training in the Gottman Method (Levels 1 and 2) with Emotionally Focussed Therapy (EFT) and Positive Psychology applications with couples.

Lydia has a very warm and engaging approach that creates a safe and accepting environment enabling sharing and exploring possibilities. With Lydia, you will: Learn to transform weaknesses into strengths, and let go of what’s been holding you back to more confidently pursue your goals and dreams. - Become more self-aware and feel more in charge over your destiny. - Improve decision-making (and reduce second guessing that can be debilitating); and boost intuition. - Handle stress and pressure better. - Feel supported in facing the dark side of what is troubling you, to better see and cultivate what is best in you. - Develop a better relationship with your body – to work with it rather than against it. - Learn how to better navigate the storms in your relationship; to get back on track more quickly – to rebuilding trust, friendship and appreciation for one another.
