Lindsay Mooney
I am an educational and developmental psychologist and co-founder of Embrace Allied Health. I trained as an educational psychologist in Scotland and have worked in the paediatric field for 15 years. I enjoy working with children and teens and love helping young people to achieve positive mental health and reach their goals. I have extensive experience working with neurodiverse young people, supporting children with anxiety, low mood and social differences on their journey of discovery.
I incorporate a range of therapeutic techniques in my practice and adopt a strengths-based approach in the work I undertake with families to support their needs. I am flexible in the models I use and adapt my approach to meet the learning styles of my families. I am so thankful that families allow me to support them through their personal journeys and love seeing the parents and children grow and develop together. Over the years, I have witnessed the benefits of working as part of a multidisciplinary team and have been inspired to start my own practice to ensure this is available to many more families in the future.

I am an educational and developmental psychologist, and another co-founder of Embrace Allied Health. I have experience working across schools and private practices since 2018. I am experienced in working with young people and their families from neurodiverse, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and trauma backgrounds. Being an immigrant myself, I understand the challenges of being ‘different’. I believe that our greatest weakness can sometimes be our biggest strength, and I would like to support people to discover their inner power. I am passionate in supporting young people and their family through their life journey.
I work in a collaborative and eclectic approach. I believe that every person can be their own expert and there is no ‘one-size-fit-all’ therapy. In sessions, I draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people maximize their well-being. I value honest feedback and am willing to adjust when an approach is not working. I am also able to offer a range of parenting programmes.In addition to English, I speak fluent Cantonese and Mandarin (歡迎使用廣東話及國語溝通)
