Introducing Lynda

Vesta Community Care founder, Lynda, has worked in the corporate world for many years.

However, it was her passion for counselling and helping others in the mental health care field and her son’s journey with ADHD, that inspired Lynda to return to counselling and venture further into supporting others through the counselling and other services in the NDIS.

Lynda recalls years ago she knew nothing about neuro-behavioural conditions when her son was first diagnosed with ADHD.

She found the diagnosis confusing and upsetting and still remembers feeling afraid of being stigmatised or judged by others and anxious about how her son would feel and cope in life.

She also remembers the time and stress involved in getting to therapy appointments with a younger child in tow.

Like every good parent, Lynda was determined to learn more about her son’s condition. In her case, that ultimately led to further studies in this field and forging a career helping children and families to enjoy better mental and emotional health.

Lynda has also worked as a primary school guidance counsellor which she found very rewarding.
