About Linda

Linda Coggan is a BACP therapist in the United Kingdom with 18 years of practice. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and anger. Sessions are straightforward and practical, focusing on what helps most in day-to-day life.

She uses approaches that look at how early relationships and current thinking affect feelings and behaviour. That includes attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices are also used to help manage stress and strong emotions.

Linda often helps people handle family tension, parenting strain, and problems with communication and control. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and difficulties with sleep or eating. Her work includes attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and codependency when these are relevant to the person’s current problems.

Her style is client-centred and practical. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and small steps that make a difference. Sessions aim to reduce immediate upset and build clearer ways to handle anger, resentment or repeated arguments.

People bring career stress, loneliness, or challenges tied to ADHD and parenting. Linda helps them map the patterns that keep causing the same problems and tries out coping skills that suit their daily routine. Starting is done in a simple, step-by-step way so people can see what works for them.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions use this to spot patterns in friendships, parenting and close relationships and to try different ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions; it is practical and helps with anger by testing new responses and building simple routines to reduce flare-ups.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adapt them together with the client. Decisions about tools and exercises are collaborative, based on what fits the person’s day-to-day life and what helps them manage strong feelings more effectively.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote sessions can still use the same attachment and CBT techniques as face-to-face work, helping clients practise new responses between meetings.
