🎉✨ Solution Psychology Turns 13! ✨🎉
As our team reminisces on our teenage years, I couldn’t resist sharing this throwback from my teenage dress-up party where I went as Cyndi Lauper. Back then, I admired her boldness, creativity, and authenticity, qualities that have carried her far beyond music, into becoming a powerful advocate for women in leadership.
Attending her concert this year reminded me how important it is to have strong leaders to look up to, people who use their voice to open doors for others. Over my 30-year career, nothing has given me greater joy than leading an incredible team of psychologists who care so deeply about the work they do.
From opening the doors to my solo private practice more than 15 years ago, to now celebrating 13 years of Solution Psychology as a group practice, it has been both a privilege and an honour to walk this journey.
Cyndi’s message has always been that women can lead with courage, creativity, and compassion. That’s exactly what I see reflected every day in our team and our clients. Here’s to 13 years of growing together - and proving that girls don’t just wanna have fun, they wanna lead, inspire, and make a difference too. 💜

Director of Solution Psychology
