About Candyce

Candyce Linington is a registered clinical counsellor in Australia with 5 years of clinical experience and professional membership of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). Her training includes a Master of Counselling, a Graduate Certificate of Addictive Behaviours, a Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling - qualifications that reflect both academic study and specialist training in addiction and transpersonal approaches.

Candyce's practice is informed by personal experiences with addictive and self-harming behaviours, psychosocial challenges, cancer, work-related injury, grief and loss, and life transitions such as moving abroad and changing careers. Those lived experiences, together with an awareness of wider social inequalities and unrest, shape a compassionate, grounded approach to therapeutic work. She draws on person-centred, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented principles to create sessions that move at the client’s pace and align with their values and goals.

Clients may work with Candyce on a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, coping with illness or chronic conditions, motivation and stress, trauma and relationship difficulties, identity and self-discovery, and addiction-related issues. She also integrates evidence-based tools such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Relapse Prevention when appropriate, while centring the client as the expert of their story. Candyce emphasises integrity, inclusivity, and collaborative care, and she aims to support and empower people seeking greater meaning and wellbeing in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Personal Growth

Candyce commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centred therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people clarify what matters most and commit to actions that align with their values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-centred therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore identity, relationships, and self-understanding in a non-directive way. CBT provides practical, structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Candyce works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor sessions to what feels most useful and workable in the client's life.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health concerns. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to choose the communication style that best supports their comfort and engagement with therapy.
