Seònaid Linn
Clinical Psychologist
MPsych (Clin), BSc (Hons)
Clinical Supervisor
Originally from Scotland, Seònaid (Shona) is an AHPRA-endorsed Clinical Psychologist with an interest in women’s mental health across the lifespan. She works with perinatal and non-perinatal women, as well as adolescents aged 14 years and above.
Seònaid provides psychological assessment and therapy for a range of presentations, including chronic stress, trauma, relationship concerns, motherhood and identity transitions, childhood adversity, anxiety, and ADHD. She also works collaboratively with parents of neurodiverse children. Mother-and-baby sessions are available for perinatal clients.
Her clinical experience includes working within a public perinatal mental health inpatient service, supporting mothers and infants as part of a multidisciplinary team. She has also worked across primary schools, women’s support services, private practice, and research settings.
Seònaid is also a clinical supervisor, supporting practitioners with an interest in women’s mental health. She completed her clinical registrar program, and subsequent doctoral training, under the supervision of Professor Peta Stapleton, an internationally recognised researcher in Clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), who has led world-first randomised controlled trials and contributed extensively to the evidence base in this area. Dr Stapleton's guidance was pivotal in shaping Seònaid's development as a clinician. Seònaid's PhD research explored experiences of motherhood / birth during COVID-19 from women’s lived perspectives, and her Master’s research examined birth trauma. She is a member and recent scholarship recipient of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP).
Seonaid's approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing on evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT, schema therapy, narrative therapy, family systems approaches, and somatic frameworks.
Seònaid has also received awards during her training recognising her ethical practice and counselling skills.
Outside of her professional practice, Seònaid is a Mum to two energetic young boys who love basketball and making loud 'music'.
