About Candyce Linington

Candyce Linington is a registered clinical counsellor in Australia with more than five years of professional experience and membership of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). Her personal journey through challenges such as addictive and self-harming behaviours, psychosocial difficulties, cancer, work-related injury, grief and loss, and major life transitions like moving abroad and changing careers has shaped a compassionate and grounded approach to counselling.

She holds a Master of Counselling, a postgraduate degree that built on earlier training including a Graduate Certificate of Addictive Behaviours, a Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling. Those qualifications are combined with lived experience to inform practical, empathetic support for people facing complex life situations.

Candyce works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness or physical conditions, motivation and stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and questions of identity and self-discovery. She values integrity and inclusivity and adopts person-centred, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented ways of working so that sessions remain collaborative, progress at each person’s pace, and are shaped by individual values and goals.

Her practice draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Relapse Prevention while emphasising the client as the expert in their own story. Candyce aims to support and empower people who are ready to explore change and to build a more meaningful, resilient life.

One major advantage is flexibility. People can connect in the way that feels most comfortable for them: via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances shift.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists who use established therapeutic methods to address everyday concerns and more complex issues. If someone feels a different therapeutic fit would be helpful, they can switch therapists at any time to find the best match for their needs.
