Dr Lynsey Byrom
Clinical Psychologist & Board-Approved Supervisor
Geelong & Australia-wide (via Face-to-face & Telehealth)
I am a Clinical Psychologist and provide therapy to adults in Geelong (via face-to-face and Telehealth) and anywhere in Australia (via Telehealth). I have over 15 years experience utilising several evidence-based approaches to help my clients achieve their therapy goals. I predominantly employ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my private practice work however believe that every person is unique so will tailor therapy to each client and will also utilise skills from other evidence-based therapies such as Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy (ST) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) where appropriate. I draw from my varied experience having worked with individuals, couples and groups in correctional, hospital, community, research, corporate, defence and private mental health settings.
Life presents challenges and sometimes we struggle to overcome them. Sometimes we need that extra source of support and guidance to help us when we’re feeling stuck. I’d like to help you learn new ways of responding to your life’s challenges; to free you from your old restrictive patterns that leave you feeling trapped.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and supportive. I aim to help you create a life that is with awareness of what is truly important to you while also effectively handling the pain and distress that you are currently struggling with. I teach practical skills with immediate application to your specific needs and goals.
What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
Don’t believe everything you think
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom
In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always gotten
The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them
You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf
