Organisational Workshops
The workshop I attended today was so great. I didn't have any expectations walking into the workshop, but boy did I walk out with great spirit. Thank you for your time!
Really knowledgeable staff PD day on meditation and stillness to cultivate wellness. Would HIGHLY recommend. Incredibly professional and well put together.
I heard from Lyn and she was very knowledgeable and gave a talk where I work. I appreciate her knowledge and understanding. She took time for questions and brought a lot of great basic counseling skills and values to my workplace with a faith in Christ that makes all the difference. Looking forward to conversations with coworkers on the topics.
Had a Connections Counselling corporate training for our staff team and it was very helpful for our organisation. We were able to understand even more about self-care, supporting individuals in their mental health, and learning mechanisms for identification of emotions and current well being. Highly recommend for those operating in ministry in team, or when covering individuals.
The workshop was clear and communicated well. Would love to have more sessions. Very genuine and kind!
Pause Retreats
I've accessed support from Connections healthcare in the past and found staff to be so caring and helpful. Recently I've attended a Pause Retreat run by Connections and found that staff in attendance were amazing. Everything was beautifully prepared for us to find stillness in a busy world.
What an incredible weekend of rest, connection, being resourced and inspired….and just so many beautiful, precious God moments. Lyn created a sacred space for learning, growing and being nurtured. It felt safe. It felt warm and welcoming. And by the end, the multigenerational group of women felt like family. I am leaving this weekend feeling well rested, refreshed, equipped and inspired to make some much needed change to my busy lifestyle.
What an amazing, fulfilling & God filled experience! I feel so refreshed, empowered and ready to put all that I have learnt into practice! Thank you so so much for creating such a peaceful and harmonious space! Highly recommend going to this retreat at least once in your life!! 💞💕

It was a beautiful experience that I had here. The facilities were great and Lyn was warm and welcoming. The time spend here really helped me to reflect and recharge and I got closer to God. Highly recommended.
Lyn with Her Colleagues
A Sanctuary of Support
My journey at Connections Healthcare Centre has been nothing short of a Godly blessing. Nestled within a community of practitioners united by the love of Christ, this practice offers far more than just therapeutic services—it provides a sanctuary of healing.
From the moment you step through the door, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that exudes warmth and compassion. The environment is not merely welcoming; it's designed with the client's comfort and well-being in mind. Each interaction, every detail, reflects the ethos of the practice—a commitment to serving others with grace and empathy.
At Connections Healthcare Centre, you're not just another human being, but a valued individual in the midst of a caring community. Here, amidst a cohort of practitioners driven by the boundless love of Christ, both practitioners and clients alike find the support they need to navigate life's challenges and emerge stronger than ever before.
My experience at Connections Counselling has been nothing short of a blessing—a testament to the power of faith, compassion, and community in the healing process. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone seeking a safe haven for growth, healing, and renewal.
Lyn is amazing; she is thoughtful, wise, kind, generous and so caring towards others. She is very giving of herself and makes others feel so welcome when they are with her. She also has a solid strength and stands for what is right. Her love and passion for God is evident in everything she does. She pours into us as a team and is very intentional in how she runs Connections. She has been an amazing blessing in my life and I'm so grateful to call her my friend and mentor.
I appreciate Lyn’s passion for her work, clients, and colleagues. She is creative and insightful, and a joy to be around.

Lyn encourages us to strive for excellence, so our clients get the best version of ourselves. Lyn sets that example as she gently and quietly strives for excellence in all that she does, whether it is with a client or a team member. This displays itself in her vast work experience, that she generously shares. Lyn is honest in that she seeks knowledge and if she doesn't know something will honestly admit it and seek out the answer. Lyn makes herself open for questions, big or small and if you have made a mistake, Lyn will put a positive spin on it as a learning exercise. This loving and careful approach encourages us to be the best we can and if we have a problem, Lyn is always there. Clients will be safe in the knowledge that Lynn always goes the extra mile as her faith permeates all that she does. Lyn uses her creative gifts and knowledge to enhance the counselling experience.

Lyn is a genuine person and I feel appreciated as an employee/colleague and friend. The ethos of Connection Counselling flows from Lyn’s intimate relationship with God and her hope for all to be free and authentic in life. Lyn’s interest and encouragement nurtures me to learn more - professionally and personally. Thanks for putting your love into Connections' Lyn 😘
We were invited to speak at a staff meeting at Connections Healthcare Centre in Victoria Park. The location itself has a relaxing ambience, is set up very well, which caters for a range of counselling and professional services. Lyn is a lovely lady who has a heart to help and meet the needs of others. I recommend Connections Healthcare Centre and Lyn, as you will be accepted for who you are and loved, whilst working through your difficulties.
Lyn With Her Clients
I have been a client of Connections for several years, and appreciate their new premises in Vic Park. Not only because it is nearer to me, but because it is done so beautifully. The decor is tasteful and calming. There's even a lift, which I used when I had bursitis!
Lyn is a fantastic counsellor. I don't have to pretend but can be myself warts and all. She helps me to nut things out and get things in perspective (which is sometimes that this IS a big thing... as I tend to minimise!).
I highly recommend Connections Healthcare Centre! I struggled with depression for years and the well meaning but unhelpful advices of previous counselors made me feel desperate that I would never get out of it. Often with counselors you keep analyzing trauma, get some advice, but don’t actually learn the tools to process trauma and change. That’s absolutely not the case here! Lyn is a highly skilled counselor who knows how to help you confront and process trauma and teaches you very helpful and effective tools that enable you to grow and change. She lives out in her sessions what it looks like to be truly welcome as you are and still be challenged with the bare truth. Her honesty, work ethic, expertise, efficiency, sense of humor, kindness, personal approach, make working with her a delight!
Hope Alive Group Therapy
I have been to so many therapists, counsellors and psychologists with no lasting change or growth. Connections Healthcare Centre however was the catalyst for change in my life and the lives of my children. I have had one on one counselling where I felt heard, was held accountable for the areas I needed to address and grow in and given the tools to do so.
I have also gone through the Hope Alive program offered through Connections. I cannot recommend this enough to ANYONE who wants to really understand themselves and learn to move forward with lasting healing change. I tell everyone who asks how I got to where I am from where I was that this was the ultimate tool God used. It saved my life and my children's lives quite literally. And the Impact has been ongoing and overflowing to the rest of my family and others around me.
I cannot express enough the gratitude I have for the work Lyn and her team have done and continue to do.
I went to Hope Alive a very angry person, I had carried the anger for 63 years. I feared for myself and all around me. Hope Alive not only gave me back my life but also taught me to trust others again.
Because of the healing and skills I have learnt, I am stopping the cycle of neglect and abuse and my children are benefiting from all the hard work I have done.
10th Year Anniversary Celebration of Connections (September 2022)
It was lovely to see treasured friends today and the whole event was a blessing. I enjoyed listening to Fred and Karen's authentic, down to earth and practical discussion as well as Lyn and Linda's testimonies. It was a blessing to see Lyn pray for Stacey's baby. I enjoyed having a discussion with the South Perth Baptist Pastor who i found to be open and helpful. I was blessed to be able to enjoy a gluten free cupcake and some fresh fruit for morning tea.
Thank you Lyn and Connections Counselling Perth's staff for allowing God to use you to bless so many hurting people.
I was fortunate to attend the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Connections, a few weeks ago. It was a very informative and also thought provoking event. I personally found it most enlightening and extremely well organised and presented. So very pleased I was able to attend.
Thank you Lynn for all you do… and also a big thanks to those around you.
I attended a fabulous anniversary 10 year celebration for Connections Counselling this September. Such a well organised event and beautiful staff that genuinely care about their clientele. Much credit to Lyn and the team! Also the musicians created such beautiful sound 😍
