Nurse Practitioner Care
Hi, I’m Lindsay.
I’m a Nurse Practitioner with Health in Mind and have worked in mental health services for over 15 years. Over my career I’ve supported young people and adults who have struggled with depression, anxiety, psychological trauma, grief & loss, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and eating disorders. Sessions are available either face to face in Gisborne, Victoria or through telehealth Australia-wide. If it feels like you’ve tried everything, or perhaps you’ve hesitated in reaching out – please, don’t lose hope. You are not alone. Together we will find a way forward.

Counselling & Psychotherapy
Talking therapies incorporate a range of treatment models including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Guided Meditation & Mindfulness.
Physical Investigations & Medication
Care may include physical investigations through blood tests and the prescribing of medication. Pharmacogenomic DNA testing is available to better understand and inform decision making around medications, particularly where multiple medications have been tried in the past.
Collaboration
Care is delivered alongside other health professionals that may support you, including your General Practitioner, Allied Health Professionals, and Psychiatrists. Specialist referrals are arranged as necessary. Communication is timely and care is planned together wherever possible.
