About Linda
Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship problems. Linda also supports clients with neurodiversity, including autism, and people living with long-term conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
She works with whatever a person brings to sessions, whether that is bereavement, a life change, feeling stuck, or difficulties sleeping and with intimacy. Sessions aim to help clients gain clarity and understanding about what is happening in their life. Linda uses straightforward explanations and practical strategies when these are helpful.
Her work puts a person-centred approach at the core. She listens to what the client wants from therapy and adapts methods to fit those goals. Techniques are drawn from different therapies so sessions can include conversational reflection, gentle challenge and skills practice.
Linda has experience in a range of settings, including work for MIND, MS-UK, primary care in a GP surgery, and community services in Plymouth. She also trained with the Samaritans and has experience of social prescribing and local mental health resources.
In sessions she can offer psycho-education, practical strategies and signposting to other services when these are useful. The pace is set by the client, and Linda aims to increase self-awareness and help people find a clear way forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflecting. In practice this means sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about, with the counsellor responding to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions can include short exercises, thought records and practical steps to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client’s needs. That means decisions about using reflective conversation, CBT tasks or mindfulness techniques are made together and adjusted as things move forward.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring duties, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more focused check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people practise skills from sessions in their everyday life.
