About Candyce
Candyce Linington works with people facing anxiety, stress, grief and major life changes. She also supports those coping with addiction, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns and challenges related to illness or caregiving. Her tone is practical and grounded, aimed at people who want steady, compassionate help as they navigate hard times.
Candyce describes her own life experiences with addiction, self-harm, serious illness and career change as shaping her approach. Those experiences guide her to offer empathy alongside practical tools.
Background and approach
She acknowledges how social inequalities and wider events affect wellbeing and brings that context into sessions. She holds a Master of Counselling, a Graduate Certificate of Addictive Behaviours, a Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling. Candyce is a member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - PACFA.
Her style is person-centred and trauma-informed. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on values, strengths and real-world coping. She may draw on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and relapse prevention techniques when they fit the client's goals.
Candyce aims to help people find more meaning, build resilience and make practical changes. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and prioritises clear, respectful communication throughout treatment.

Online support
Approaches and how they work online
Jungian Therapy pays attention to symbols, personal stories and inner images to help people deepen self-understanding and uncover meaning, which can be useful for identity questions, life purpose and complex emotional issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values, present-moment awareness and committed action to help with anxiety, depression and difficult thoughts that get in the way of living well. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and accepted so people can safely explore feelings, build self-worth and make their own changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant to your life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexible care. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit short check-ins, while chat or messaging can be convenient for brief updates or when writing helps you reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility constraints and allow ongoing support from anywhere in Australia.
