Lynne Duthie - Mental Health Occupational Therapist

---

I’m an Occupational Therapist with over a decade of experience, having practiced since 2013. 

I hold a Mental Health Endorsement under the Medicare Better Access program and have worked extensively across the disability and mental health sectors. My passion lies in supporting a diverse range of children, young people, families, and particularly:

• Women
• Mothers & Parents
• Young Adults
• Neurodivergent individuals
   

As a Mental Health Occupational Therapist, I bring a deeply human, relational approach to therapy. I value the meaning that emerges through therapeutic storytelling, and I hold space for the full spectrum of human experience—the messy, hard, joyous, traumatic, sad, confusing, mundane, and beautiful moments of life.

I believe that both our inner world and our environment—micro and macro—shape our experiences, and I approach every therapeutic relationship with sensitivity, curiosity, and care.

• Warmth & Safety: Creating a nurturing, safe space for authentic self-expression
• Cultural Sensitivity & Neuro-Affirming Practice
• Trauma-Informed & Person-Centered Care
• Connection to Nature as a grounding and therapeutic tool
   

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Narrative Therapy
• Circle of Security (Attachment-Based)
• Mindfulness Practices
• Nervous System Regulation
• Skills-Based Interventions (e.g., executive functioning, emotional regulation)
   

I often incorporate nature-based wisdom into my practice—recognizing its timeless ability to teach, mirror, and support us through life's many seasons.

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Burnout
• Grief & Loss
• Anger
• Attachment & Parenting Support
• Matrescence & Mothering Support
• Sensory Overwhelm & Nervous System Regulation
• Executive Functioning Skills
• Identity & Self-Esteem
• Life Transitions
   

I walk gently alongside those I work with—for healing, growth, and mental wellbeing.
