Sessions focus on how the brain works and the role emotions play in creating specific challenges. By explaining these processes in a way that is easy for children and teenagers to understand, Lynn helps young people feel more in control of their feelings and behaviours. This empowering approach allows them to develop healthier habits and coping mechanisms. 

Her sessions are designed to help children and teenagers feel empowered, focusing on the positive changes they want to make rather than revisiting the past. They are particularly effective for young people struggling with anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation, as it encourages them to look forward and take control of their emotional well-being.
