Social Worker | MHPSS & Protection Advisor | Adventurer
Hello, I’m Lindsay, a social worker and humanitarian dedicated to enhancing mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) for populations made vulnerable by conflict, inequality, and/or trauma. My mission goes beyond program design and implementation to helping communities heal and recognizing mental health as a fundamental human right.
My work is collaborative and culturally adapted, centering around compassion and care. I believe in utilizing trauma-informed approaches to support communities, individuals, and families in strengthening their resilience and wellbeing. By empowering communities and individuals to take ownership of their mental health and psychosocial support, we can achieve lasting social transformation.
I utilize evidence-informed modalities to improve resilience and empower others. If you are an individual or organization in need of MHPSS support, please reach out. Whether you need support to build resilience and strength, heal and recover, reconnect with yourself, or refine your technical skills, scale up programs, and achieve meaningful impact - I can help. I’m so glad you’re here.
Consulting
I work with international and local organizations to provide technical support to Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)protection, and safeguarding programs designed to support vulnerable people, in particular survivors of conflict, trauma, and gender-based violence.
Psychosocial Support (PSS)
I provide personalized therapeutic support to individuals and groups to help overcome deep-seated psychological and emotional barriers such as self-limiting beliefs, anxiety and depression. My aim is to support you to deepen connection with your authentic self, find your ‘why’, and equip you with the tools, awareness, and mindset for expanding your world.
Somatic nature-based experiences
I facilitate and guide inspiring mind-body practices designed to heal and empower. These include yoga and meditation, group retreats and wilderness journeys, all tailored to individual needs and informed by the latest trauma and somatic approaches and research.
