Principal Consultant
Lyndal Reid
GCert.Couns
Counsellor, Educational Consultant, and Program Facilitator – ACT and SE NSW
Lyndal has worked with special needs students on and off since 1994. During that time, her passion for working with neurodivergent individuals developed.
While working in the family business during the time her children were young, Lyndal achieved her Certificate IV in Business. Then in 2007, following the discovery of her own children as being gifted, she took the deep dive into this field. Having previously worked in special needs education, it was an ‘easy’ step into everything relating to giftedness, and this has morphed over the years into all things neurodivergent. Part of this journey involved her being part of a number of Gifted and Talented committees and programs both in schools and private organisations in ACT and surrounds.
Lyndal has been with AGSC since 2010, initially running workshops at the residential camps and progressing to co-coordinating the camps. Social skills workshops, and parent and child workshops and support groups joined the lineup, and consultations and assessments soon followed. She introduced the One Day Program to families in the ACT and surrounds, and Perth as well as support groups for students in years 7-12, ensuring that this group was catered for.
Lyndal completed a Diploma of Counselling in 2016, and then a Graduate Certificate in Counselling in 2023 to ensure she can provide the best possible care to families.
Lyndal has found her passion working with neurodivergent individuals of all ages helping them learn and love who they are. She loves seeing the growth as she develops strategies with her people and sees the knowledge that they are capable of living happily in this strange world of ours!
