Lyn Preston
Registered Gestalt Therapist (MGestTherapy)
Diploma in Counselling. GANZ member.
BalintANZ (Board Member)
With a Master’s degree in Gestalt therapy and decades of personal experience as a mother of six and stepmother to four, Lyn brings both professional expertise and deep lived insight to her work with families.
Her journey into family therapy was shaped not just by study, but by life itself — including navigating family trauma and the profound grief of losing a child. These experiences have given her a heartfelt understanding of the complex challenges families face.
Lyn believes that unresolved trauma and addiction can hold families in repeating cycles, but with the right support, healing and change are possible. Her early career as a psychiatric nurse further grounded her belief in the power of emotional and psychological support through life’s most difficult moments.
Today, Lyn finds real meaning in helping parents and children strengthen their relationships, reconnect, and move forward with greater understanding and resilience.
