ABOUT ME

​

Welcome to Lorikeet Counselling!

​

My name is Lyndel and Rainbow Lorikeets have a special meaning for me. I grew up in the Gold Coast, Australia and moved to Calgary, Canada 13 yrs ago. My childhood home had Rubber trees out beside the front deck and the fruit is a favorite of Rainbow Lorikeets. Every afternoon, this colorful and noisy cloud of birds would descend on our front verandah and feast on the fruit of the Rubber trees. The silence when they left was so peaceful, but I looked forward to these colorful characters everyday. I remember wishing I could be one of those birds and fly away from the stress of my life. Every bird had their own unique personality. And in Dreamtime culture, Rainbow Lorikeets are a bird of transformation. So, as someone who has been through therapy myself and transformed, when it came time to name my counselling business, I remembered my Australian culture and heritage and those amazing birds that bought so much beauty.

​

 My approach is unique, for those who may have had a less than stellar experience with therapy or for those who may be a little nervous about seeking help. I believe in making therapy accessible, comfortable, and effective.

 I'm the therapist for people who don't like therapists! I know that no two people are the same, so my approach is tailored to your unique situation and needs. 

In a world where there are few safe places and people, I can be that safe place and person for you... if you want.

With a client-centered approach, I work with you hand-in-hand to support your goals, and achieve long-lasting results.
