- Personalised Life Coaching
You Know What
You Need to Do.
You’re Just Not Doing It.
Sometimes, you know something needs to change, but you’re not sure what’s really getting in the way. Real change doesn’t always come from pushing yourself harder. It starts with understanding the deeper patterns, beliefs and habits holding you back.
As a Life Coach, I provide personalized one-to-one coaching to help you understand what’s getting in the way, clarify what matters to you and create meaningful change that lasts.

Meet Linda Duong
I’m Linda Duong, a Life Coach, author, motivational speaker and founder of Link Coaching.
For more than 15 years, I have supported people through change, uncertainty and personal growth. My own journey from arriving in Sydney at 15 without speaking English to building a career around coaching, speaking and mentoring has shaped the way I work with people today.
I believe meaningful growth starts with understanding yourself, recognising what may be holding you back and finding the confidence to move forward.
When You Know Something Needs to Change
Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t knowing that you want something to change. It’s understanding why you keep finding yourself in the same place.
You may have tried setting goals, changing your habits or doing more to move forward, yet still feel stuck. You might know what you want in your head, but something keeps making it difficult to follow through.
Often, the way we respond to challenges is shaped by beliefs, habits, and patterns we’ve developed over time. Bringing those patterns into awareness can help you understand yourself differently and create room for new choices.
You Might Recognise Yourself Here
- You feel stuck but can't quite explain why
- You keep overthinking decisions or second-guessing yourself
- You know what you want, but struggle to turn it into action
- You find yourself repeating patterns you'd like to change
- You are constantly putting other people’s needs before your own
- You feel that something is missing, even though life looks fine on the outside
- You want greater clarity, confidence or direction
- You are ready for change but don't know where to start
You don’t have to arrive with all the answers. Life coaching can give you the space to understand where you are, uncover what may be getting in your way and work out what moving forward looks like for you.
A Different Way to Look at Personal Growth
I don’t believe personal growth means becoming a different person. It means understanding yourself more clearly and making choices that reflect the life you genuinely want.
Through our coaching conversations, we can explore the beliefs, habits and patterns influencing how you think, respond and make decisions. This can help you recognise what may be holding you back and see possibilities that may have been difficult to see before.
Then we turn that awareness into action.
That could mean making a decision you’ve been avoiding, approaching a challenge differently, having a conversation you’ve been putting off or taking a step towards a new direction.
Coaching for the Chapter You're In
Everyone comes to coaching from a different place. Your circumstances, priorities and goals are unique, so our work together is shaped around what matters to you.
Career & Direction
Questioning your career, considering a new direction or unsure what you want next? Coaching can help you step back, explore your options and make decisions with greater clarity.
Confidence & Personal Growth
Self-doubt can affect the choices you make and the opportunities you pursue. Coaching can help you understand those patterns, build confidence and approach your personal growth with greater intention.
Leadership & Business
Leading a team or running a business can bring pressure, responsibility and difficult decisions. Coaching gives you space to reflect, challenge your thinking and work through the challenges you’re facing.
Life Transitions
Some changes bring excitement while others can leave you uncertain about what comes next. Coaching can help you make sense of a new chapter and find greater clarity about how you want to move forward.
