About Candyce
Candyce Linington is a counsellor based in Australia who focuses on anxiety and other common life challenges. She draws on lived experience and professional training to offer steady, practical support. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Candyce holds PACFA membership and postgraduate counselling qualifications. Candyce has lived through addictive behaviours, self-harm recovery, cancer and major life transitions. Those experiences inform how she listens and responds.
She aims to help people find workable coping strategies and clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Her approach is person-centred and trauma-informed. That means conversations start from what matters to the person and move at a comfortable pace. She also uses recovery-oriented ideas to help people build on strengths and manage setbacks.
Clinically, Candyce may draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness-based tools. She adapts techniques to the issue at hand, whether that is anxiety, grief, addiction, or stress from illness or work injury.
Candyce works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addiction and self-harm, identity and sexuality, workplace stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image, and attachment issues. She emphasises values-based goals and practical steps people can use between sessions. People who reach out can expect calm, direct conversation and help turning insight into action.
Candyce aims to support each person toward clearer choices, more resilience and a greater sense of meaning.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behaviour. It focuses on values and small committed actions to move toward a more meaningful life, and can help with anxiety, depression and motivation issues.Client-Centred Therapy centres on being heard and respected. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflecting experience and helping clarify values and choices; this approach supports self-discovery, identity work and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It provides clear strategies to test unhelpful thinking and develop alternative behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Candyce will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods to suit the person. The first sessions often involve trying a few tools and agreeing on practical steps to try between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexibility and many ways to connect. Video calls let people see expressions and use visual tools. Phone sessions work well on lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or slower-paced reflection. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and different routines.
