Healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.
Difficult experiences—especially those rooted in childhood or past relationships—can shape how we see ourselves, trust others, and navigate the world. Trauma isn’t just something that happened in the past; it lives in the body, affecting emotions, relationships, and even physical health. If you feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, shame, or disconnection, please know that these are not personal failings, but natural responses to overwhelming experiences.
At The HK Psychology Practice®, I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can begin to make sense of what you’ve been through. Here, you don’t have to hold everything together—this is a place where you can fall apart, be heard, and be supported in rebuilding your sense of self. Using evidence-based psychotherapy and somatic approaches, I help clients move from survival mode to a place of greater ease, confidence, and connection. Together, we will honor the ways you’ve learned to cope while exploring new ways to heal—ones that align with your values, your strengths, and the life you want to live.
You are not broken. Your pain matters. And with the right support, healing is possible.
MEET LYDIA
I'm Lydia Turner, a compassionate and highly experienced psychologist, clinical supervisor, and educator with a deep commitment to human rights and social justice. With over 16 years' of clinical experience, I have worked across a variety of settings including sexual assault, eating disorders, and complex trauma. Some career highlights included working as the Senior Psychologist of a Sexual Assault Service at one of Australia's largest teaching hospitals; authoring a chapter in a parenting book that became an international bestseller; and co-founding & directing an eating disorders clinic in 2009 which pioneered a new model of prevention and treatment which continues to have much success today.
I have been working in private practice with adolescents and adults, both online and in-person, for several years. I am proficient in a range of evidence-based modalities, including Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-E), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Schema Therapy (ST), Trauma-informed Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (TR-DBT), and psychotherapies. My therapeutic approach is firmly grounded in client-focused collaboration and empowerment, with an adaptive integration of somatic psychotherapies to support holistic healing.
At the heart of my practice is a client-focused, collaborative approach, which fosters empowerment, trust, and a committment to the healing journey. I believe no two experiences of trauma are the same, and that healing requires listening deeply, learning continuously, and honouring each person's individual path...
