Speaking, Training & Mentorship
Dr Johanna Lynch presents generalist whole person approaches to understanding distress. She integrates an understanding of the relational, cultural, environmental, physiological and meaningful aspects of being a person.
Believing there is so much to learn from one another - she has integrated years of clinical experience, wisdom from her patients, and expert opinion from different disciplines to focus on healing and hope-filled approaches to suffering.
She has carefully developed the Sense of Safety approach to distress that offers a strength-based and trauma-informed approach that honours personal and communal strengths and does not dismiss or ignore pain.
​
She is available to teach in schools, workplaces, and community organisations, and offers online individual and group supervision and case consultation.
