Reweave your story
Sometimes life can feel messy and uncertain. Linda is an experienced counsellor who supports people to navigate complex and challenging life transitions.
You can feel that something is shifting. You're in-between and unsure of how to move forward. It can help to tell your story to a compassionate witness, to hear a different perspective or try a new strategy. Linda works compassionately and collaboratively with her clients to establish a space of trust to explore emotional patterns and the stories we each craft about our place and belonging in the world. Linda sits with you in the space between chapters and helps you craft a way forward with more insight, clarity and hope.
As an integrative and holistic practitioner, Linda’s personalised approach draws from a variety of modalities including existential psychotherapy, attachment styles, family systems, somatic and eco therapy. She has a love of the mythopoetic and the archetypal stories that help us to find meaning and see our place in the universality of human experience.
Areas of Focus
Motherhood, Menopause and Ageing
These are powerful phases of transition and change. For some they are times of powerful transformation but for others they are times of grief and anxiety. Linda works with women of all ages whose identities and relationships may be shifting, who are meeting their losses and regrets and revisiting their hopes.
Death and Mortality
Linda works with people who may be struggling with existential anxieties around their own death or the loss of loved ones through the exploration of personal and cultural stories around mortality.
In her work as a death doula, Linda supports individuals who have had a life-limiting or palliative diagnosis or who are approaching the end of a long life to find peace with their mortality. She facilitates open conversations about death, builds literacy around end of life choices and care, assists in the development of end of life plans, and supports family and community to care for their dying and their dead.
Grief
Grief takes many forms. Linda supports the bereaved mourning the death of loved ones but also the grief we may experience with the ruptures in our relationships to others, to our relationship to our bodies in the face of illness and injury or the loss of identity with the loss of a job, of our role as partner or parent. We may grieve our wounds and the paths not taken. Our culture doesn’t tend to support us well in grief, or with endings of any kind and we often need a safe place to express it.
Workshops
Linda is an experienced group facilitator and offers women's circles and workshops on menopause and eldering. She also facilitates small group and family sessions around end of life care and planning.
