About Linda

Linda Jenkins is an ACA counsellor in Australia with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Linda also focuses on compassion fatigue, separation and divorce, forgiveness and questions around life purpose.

She aims to build a strong therapeutic alliance through careful listening and attention to what matters most to each person. Sessions include practical information and resources alongside talking through the issues people bring. Linda uses narrative and person-centred ideas to help people reframe their experiences and see options they may have missed.

Dialectical behaviour therapy ideas are used for managing overwhelming feelings and building everyday coping skills. Family systems and attachment-based thinking help when relationship patterns or parenting conflicts are part of the problem. The approach is generally straightforward: identify what is getting in the way, practise concrete skills, and look at how people relate to themselves and others.

Linda often provides psychoeducation and practical tools to support change between sessions. She encourages people to test small changes, notice what works, and adjust plans as they go. This practical emphasis aims to help people make decisions about next steps, including matters of life purpose and work stress.

Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and any other practical details through the booking process.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Linda uses narrative therapy to help people retell difficult experiences and notice different possible meanings. This approach is useful when past stories are keeping someone stuck or affecting choices about work, family or life purpose.

She also draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on listening closely and following what the person wants to work on. For intense emotions and practical coping, ideas from dialectical behaviour therapy are used to build skills for managing stress and strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods as needs and preferences become clearer. That helps people find an approach that fits their situation rather than prescribing one from the start.

Details about session formats should be confirmed before booking. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and the booking steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed, but confirm which formats are available before you book.
