Linda Jenkins, ACA

Linda Jenkins is an ACA counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through stressful and painful life events. She focuses on listening carefully and building a warm, respectful relationship so clients feel heard and understood from the first session.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety, recover from separation or divorce, and navigate family conflict. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, loss, and workplace pressures. Linda pays attention to practical goals and what each person wants to change.

Her work draws on narrative and person-centred ideas to help people tell their story and find new meaning. She also uses dialectical behaviour ideas and attachment-based thinking to address how emotions and relationships affect daily life.

Sessions include straightforward information and resources people can use between meetings. Linda aims to make therapy useful and relevant, with steps that can be tried in real life rather than just talked about.

She works in English and sees people in Australia. People who are unsure what to expect can ask about how sessions run and what approach might suit their situation.

How Linda’s approaches work online

Linda draws on narrative and person-centred approaches to help people make sense of their experiences and reframe difficult stories. Narrative work encourages people to identify the events and beliefs that shape their life, and then consider alternative, more helpful ways of seeing those events. Person-centred practice focuses on listening and following the person’s lead so therapy fits their pace and priorities.

She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour ideas to teach practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. These skills can help with anxiety, stress and compassion fatigue by offering concrete strategies to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then choose methods together in a collaborative way. This means the plan can change as needs shift over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people access an appropriately qualified counsellor from different locations while still focusing on practical skills and real-world changes.
