About Linda
Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has seven years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship problems. Linda also works with clients affected by neurodiversity and long-term health conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
Her approach is down-to-earth and compassionate. She starts by listening to what a person wants to bring to therapy and then follows their pace. Linda aims to help people spot and use their own strengths while building self-awareness and clarity about what to do next.
She draws on client-centred ways of working alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused therapy. That blend lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs, offering practical tools as well as a space to be heard.
Linda’s background includes counselling for Mind, MS-UK and work in primary care within a GP surgery. She has training with the Samaritans and experience in social prescribing, so she can signpost to local and national services when useful.
In sessions she offers psycho-education and coping strategies when appropriate. She works in a trauma-informed way and will not ask anyone to discuss things they are not ready to explore. Her aim is to help people move forward with greater understanding and manageable steps.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on listening and creating a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows what you bring and helps you set the pace, which suits people who want space to talk and to find their own answers.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change them. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worry and increase calm, useful when feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together you decide whether to focus on practical CBT tools, mindfulness practice, person-centred reflection or a mix of these methods.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also be useful when someone prefers not to use video and wants a phone conversation instead. Talk to the therapist when you start to agree what will work best for your life and needs.
