Long-Term Benefits

For Emotional and Life Challenges

Research has consistently shown that those people who meet with a psychotherapist or counsellor when faced with a difficult emotional or life problem are much better off than those who don’t seek help and that the benefits are long-term.

Deep Healing

Proven and Effective Psychotherapy Techniques

The effectiveness of the various techniques that I use at my Adelaide private practice has been researched, tested and successfully and scientifically proven worldwide for many years. They work in a deep and profound way and include counselling, cognitive therapy - the power of positive thinking, clearing emotional issues through a combination of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and TFT (Thought Field Therapy), and Hypnotherapy (deep relaxation) - the most powerful subconscious healing therapy for enhancing self-esteem and emotional balance and replacing negative beliefs and behaviours.

Tailored Therapy Plans

How Long Will It Take?

While many clients experience significant changes quite rapidly, the number of sessions required varies from individual to individual, depending on the extent and depth of their emotional issues. At your first consultation, I will discuss how many sessions may be necessary for you.

    "Lindy has helped me process some very difficult situations and make resolutions that have greatly improved my ability to cope.  She has taught me self-calming techniques that I can use anytime, anywhere. Through meditation I have become more punctual and mindful of what I am doing. I am more immune to criticism, and have learned not to take things too personally.  She has given me confidence to handle myself calmly in conflict situations. Lindy is gifted in her ability to articulate a problem, and get to the solution with great rationale. I can not recommend anyone more highly than Lindy, to help anyone struggling with life’s problems."

    "Lindy has helped me release the negative burdens that were preventing me from moving forward in my life.  My relationships are more harmonious and communication has improved.  She has put a smile back on my face.  I now feel I have the strength to deal with any challenges that may arrive in my life."

    "I contacted Lindy in 2010 for help dealing with issues I have struggled with for over 20 years.  As soon as I spoke to her I felt that she was going to be be able to help me.  She has a calmness and warmth which is evident even on the phone.  In person Lindy is totally professional and at the same extroadinarily human - a difficult balance, I would think, yet she is quite comfortable with it.  In the 6 months of sessions that I had with her she helped me recognise the source of my anxieties and the way they had been manifesting in my life, as well as showing me ways to put them into perspective and not let them control me in the future.  I would without hesitation recommend Lindy to anyone, she is not only a wonderful therapist, she is a wonderful person."

    "I came to see Lindy seeking an alternative approach to dealing with depression.  With her easy communication style and sense of humour, I was on the road to recovery from the very first session.  If you want an alternative to popping a pill,then Lindy is the person to see."

    "Thank you so much for helping me to relax and sleep better! Of course my main hope when I initially came to see you was that you would be able to help me communicate better with my loved ones, as well as friends and the rest of the world really ... to be able to say how I felt without feeling guilty. The depth of the relaxation I felt with your techniques has really calmed me down and I do not feel nearly as anxious or nervous at the prospect of the future."

    "I was barely functioning when I decided to make an appointment with Lindy Poirier.  After unsuccessful sessions with both Psychiatrists and Psychologists I was beginning to wonder if I’d ever be able to live normally again.  I didn’t want to go down the road of medication; I’d tried that in the past and found it more of a band-aid solution. I was diagnosed by my GP as having an Anxiety disorder, well let’s say many disorders, which included Generalised anxiety, health anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive and a phobia I had been living with since I was only a small child. Along with this I had debilitating panic attacks and a period of terrifying disassociation.  But that wasn’t all, depression also took hold. I was at the point where I couldn’t work, didn’t socialise and didn’t really leave the house. I wasn’t even able to drive a car because my anxiety was so bad. After only my first session with Lindy I noticed an improvement in my anxiety.  Since seeing Lindy I would say she has completely ‘cured’ me of all my issues, not only the anxiety!  The techniques she taught me proved invaluable in my recovery. I didn’t realise life could be this way, and that I could live it anxiety free.  I took on dancing lessons, applied for a new job and won it, and can now live every day with a freedom I never imagined possible!  I have no hesitations in recommending Lindy and the work that she does, she changed my life!"

    "For me Lindy's program was a revelation and a success. After spending more than 10 years of my life with anxiety I was desperate to find a natural solution to my problems. I was tried of feeling trapped and afraid to live life as it should be and was slowly losing control. As the anxiety increased over time I was increasing in fear of all social situations including any activity outside my control and outside my comfort zone. I needed help and Lindy was able to allow me to overcome my anxiety with her relaxed method of therapy. Since the program, I'm functioning at a level I never thought would be possible to me. I am able to attend functions and events that only a short time ago I would've fearfully declined. The results were not achieved in one session as there were anxieties, fears, panic attacks which needed to be treated and worked through, but now I feel very strong mentally and at ease in my mind. I am now able to continue my life as it should be. The professional guidance and support offered during the sessions made this experience very comfortable and well recommended. Thank you for getting my life back."

    "Recently I was looking for some avenues to improve my current level of mental health. I have been in the self actualisation/self improvement field and also the spiritual field for over 20 years, and have been very happy with my development and current sense of well being. However, I was looking for a way to transform to an even greater level of awareness. I wanted to create a shift from feeling pretty good to feeling great and being really content in each moment, independent of external circumstances. I felt there were two areas that could be restricting me and that were possibly creating some resistance to where I knew I could be.  I wanted someone accredited, professional, and who had the expertise to go deep into the subconscious.


    A lovely friend of mine who owns SA’s largest self help/religious book store recommended Lindy Poirier. In total I had 11 sessions with Lindy, all which were greatly embraced and appreciated. In a short time I began to see some major changes take place. I was able to release a major childhood trauma, as well as accelerate my self worth to a whole new level, which in turn, created a greater level of wealth. Not only this, as the weeks transpired, other shifts took place and I quickly reached way beyond the anticipated expectations and entered new paradigms. I thank Lindy for the assistance that I needed with creating these transformations. I highly recommend Lindy to anyone who is looking for an affordable, professional way to release their obstacles, raise their awareness and open themselves up to an even greater experience of life."

    "When I first went to Lindy my daily life was becoming more and more consumed with my issues. I was extremely unhappy and it was not only affecting me, but also my family. My initial consultation brought immediate relief to my peace of mind and as the sessions continued I had constant improvement. I can now think about these issues, discuss them and then let them go; they no longer consume me. I am no longer trying to be the person everyone else wants me to be and it has been liberating discovering the real me and that I'm okay.


    I went to Lindy with an open mind and not knowing what to expect and found a professional, kind, caring, down to earth person who is an extremely good listener and practical wiht an amazing sense of humour. She has helped me feel good about myself, given me coping techniques and has enabled me to look at life differently.


    It is hard to put into words the difference Lindy has made not only to my life but also my family, but I am constantly heard to say "thank you Lindy".  I have had no hesitation recommending Lindy and I will continue to do so!"

    "From a very early age I exhibited some rather unusual ‘psychic abilities’ and have been able to hear voices from the other realms, which at times has left me in a very uncomfortable state both physically and mentally. There were times when I felt my brain was literally going to explode and life felt like it was spiraling out of control.


    The intensity of the events increased with age, until I reached a point where I knew I would need to access help in order to become more aware of what was happening and to try and figure out how I could become comfortable with it all.


    Finding the right person to help with my situation has been no easy task I can assure you, and I have searched far and wide. One day I found Lindy Poirier and after a few delicately probing questions, realized this was the woman for me. Lindy put my mind at ease straight away and assured me that no problem was insurmountable.


    The work with Lindy has been life changing. I now have a much greater understanding of what has been happening to me throughout my life and have finally reached a point where I am comfortable in my own skin. In fact, now I actually enjoy and embrace my ‘gifts’. I will be forever in debt to Lindy for turning the light on and I have chosen to continue working with her in order to learn as much as I possibly can. With knowledge comes power and greater control of our ‘selves’. And I am sitting in a far far better place now, than I was 12 months ago when I first walked into Lindy’s office."

    "I first came to Lindy at one of the lowest points of my life.  I was going through significant personal changes and was not coping at all well emotionally.  I had seen counsellors, who while good to help me clarify the problem, weren't doing anything to help me modify the underpinning drivers for my behaviours.  After an initial 'crisis session' with Lindy we started on a series of hypnotherapy sessions which were brilliant in terms of both helping me relax and in reprogramming some of the very negative subconscious thoughts that had been endemic in my mind for a long time.  After a while, the change in my outlook become apparent not only to me, but to those around me, who remarked that I seemed to be in a' much better space' than I had been previously.  At the end of the sessions I felt far more prepared to cope with some of the challenges I will continue to face - the problems are still there, but I know that I can overcome them now and if I ever feel like I am starting to slip again then I will be back to see Lindy without hesitation."
