About
I’m Wendy Lin, a masters-trained counsellor based in Adelaide offering a strengths-based, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach for individuals and couples.
My counselling style honours the whole person – mind, heart, body, and soul. I aim to create a calm space where you can explore challenges, make sense of your experiences, and move toward meaningful growth.
Alongside my counselling work, I have developed and delivered seminars on relationships and parenting for a range of audiences locally, interstate, and overseas. This experience continues to inform my practical and relational approach to counselling.
I draw on an integrated, evidence-based approach, using modalities that best fit each client. This includes:
- Trauma-informed practice
- Self-compassion and emotional awareness
- Family systems frameworks
- Relationship and intimacy frameworks (e.g., Gottman, emotion-focused, developmental model)
- Grief and loss interventions
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Narrative therapy
As a Christian, I can integrate a faith worldview into sessions for clients who request it. Alongside my counselling training, I have over 22 years of experience in a vocational ministry household. I have walked with people through seasons of joy, loss, transition, conflict, and complexity. I understand the challenges and joys of pastoral ministry and can support those in ministry or in ministry families.

- Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy (University of Adelaide)

- Bachelor of Science (University of Sydney)
