Linda Jenkins

Linda Jenkins is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 10 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue and the practical impacts of life changes. Her listed areas include divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, self-love and workplace issues.

She emphasises building a clear working relationship through careful listening and steady attention. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Psychoeducation and resource suggestions are part of how she helps people use what they learn in daily life.

Linda uses several well-known approaches in her work, including narrative therapy, person-centred methods and dialectical behaviour therapy techniques. She also draws on family systems and attachment-based ideas to understand relationships and ongoing patterns. These approaches are used to look at past influences and current coping patterns in straightforward ways.

People come to her with relationship endings, parenting strains, grief, workplace stress or a general sense of being stuck. Sessions typically involve talking through what is happening now, identifying practical options and trying small changes to test what helps. The focus is on clear steps rather than long explanations.

Her style balances calm listening with practical guidance. She offers suggestions and helps clients develop skills they can apply outside sessions. Those seeking support around life purpose or coping after change will find direct, experience-based work aimed at making everyday life more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Linda describes her work using narrative therapy to help people rewrite the story they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how past events are remembered and helps identify different ways to respond to current problems. She also uses person-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting what is most important to the person, helping them clarify values and next steps. Dialectical behaviour therapy techniques are used to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication.

Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a shared process. She works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and adapts the approach over time based on what is helpful. Clients are involved in choosing practical exercises and deciding what to try between sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care after a move or during life transitions without promising a specific format or outcome.
