About Linda

Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings seven years of practical experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, low mood and life transitions. She works in a down-to-earth way and aims to help clients find clarity and build on their own strengths.

Linda helps people talk through relationship difficulties, parenting pressures, work stress and grief. She also supports those facing neurodiversity, long-term illness such as multiple sclerosis, and care-related strain. She is familiar with issues linked to trauma, anger, sleep problems and compassion fatigue.

Her style is person-centred and straightforward. Sessions are shaped around what each individual wants to bring, and the pace is set by the client. She blends techniques from different therapies to suit practical needs rather than following a single method.

Linda can offer psycho-education, simple strategies and signposting to local and national services relevant to mental health, autism and wellbeing. Her background includes counselling for charities, primary care in a GP surgery and social prescribing work, which informs a practical approach to support.

Clients can expect a supportive, trauma-aware space where the aim is greater self-awareness and manageable steps forward. She focuses on building a strong working relationship and helping people discover the resources they already have.

How Linda’s approaches translate to online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means sessions follow what you want to bring and move at your pace, which can feel reassuring for people coping with anxiety, grief or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It includes practical exercises and simple tools to try between sessions, which can help with stress, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose or blend methods based on your goals, needs and what feels most comfortable. This makes the process adaptable as things change.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, take shorter check-ins during work breaks, or use non-video options when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor session length and tools to suit everyday life and practical constraints.
