Linda Philip

Trauma Psychotherapist

Linda brings together 24 years of experience in private practice as a counsellor and therapist. Her approach is compassionate and collaborative, facilitating people through a process of self-discovery and transformation of their deepest issues. 

She graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Social work, specializing in Mental Health and since then has been passionately dedicated to exploring, studying and implementing some of the worlds most effective personal change modalities & psychotherapeutic techniques to resolve trauma, shift unwanted emotion, thinking, behaviour and break through limiting beliefs. In 2011, she launched a successful online worldwide tele-summit bringing together international teachers of transformational theory and practice. 

She has an ability to quickly see the themes that run through a person's experience and identify the beliefs that hold them hostage, creating unwanted patterns in their life and bringing about a change in perspective. She celebrates the uniqueness of each individual's journey, who they truly are, and guides them to foster greater self-compassion. 

She has a deep understanding of the effects of trauma on our brains and bodies and is skilled in being able to hone in on key past events that keep people stuck in distress. This causes symptoms to arise such as depression, anxiety, anxiety-related issues and behaviours, PTSD, stress, fatigue and pain. 

Based on what an individual needs, holding a non-judgemental space and applying a couple of key ingredients necessary for change, she can gently, effectively and safely guide people to quickly clear emotion from the past, reclaim their power and step into powerful peace. From this place of inner calm, their innate wisdom enables them to realise their capacity to successfully create their future with renewed freedom and confidence.

What People Say

  • “Our team was falling short of its potential both collectively and individually.  The sessions/workshops that you developed and facilitated enabled our team to raise, identify and discuss the issues and processes that were hindering development, and develop agreed communication and trust and build a picture of the team’s and individuals’ aspirations going forward.  There have been immediate tangible positive results as we progress along the path to our goals.  Without your support and insights, we would still be looking for that path.”

    CFO, Government

  • “Your unique combination of high emotional intelligence, warmth, and business acumen effectively facilitated both corporate and human transitions in organisations that are disrupted due to change. The efficiency and effectiveness of our transition would not have been possible without your expertise and skill.”

    Board of Director, Health Sector

  • “My work with you in the coaching was rich in reflection, challenging thinking and active mentoring.  It has recalibrated assumptions I had about leadership in general and about myself as a leader. I now feel so much more self-aware as I work with others, I’m confident in my role as a member of a leadership team, and a spark of ambition has been lit to explore the next steps in my professional journey.”

    Director, Education Sector

  • “It has been a privilege to work with Gwen and her team. The work gave us a clear way forward as we strive for inclusive communication, leadership from the heart, trusting relationships, brave conversations and the courage to change in a considered manner. Your personalities, values and manner of working were in complete harmony with the values and ethos of our school.
