Mrs Lydia Black
Psychologist
“An experienced psychologist, working with children and adults. Lydia is experienced in developmental, perinatal and sport psychology”
About Me
As an experienced clinical psychologist, Lydia supports children and adults navigating life's complexities. She understands unique needs from early development to the perinatal period and in sport. Lydia helps clients explore their experiences, offering a calm and adaptable space. Her broad expertise ensures a tailored approach. She guides individuals and families to build resilience and find clearer paths forward.
Approach
Clients often come wanting clearer steps, so I work through short, focused sessions that break challenges into manageable experiments suited to developmental stage, perinatal transitions or performance settings. Based in Hobart, I offer weekly in-person and secure online sessions in English, and I adapt pacing for children, adolescents, parents and athletes. Sessions blend gentle exploration, practical skill-building and collaborative planning, with simple between-session tasks when helpful to practice new habits. This way of working tends to suit families and individuals seeking steady, tangible progress.
