About Linda

Linda Zack is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of volunteer and post-qualification experience. She practises Gestalt psychotherapeutic counselling and works with a wide range of difficulties, including grief, sleeping problems, stress, anxiety, addictions, anger and low self-esteem.

Linda uses Gestalt principles to focus on present-moment awareness. She helps people notice how they think, feel and behave as it happens. That plain attention can point out repeated patterns and habits that get in the way of coping and relationships.

Sessions tend to be relaxed and conversational. Linda uses metaphors and simple Gestalt techniques to help people see situations differently. She supports clients to identify strengths and build resilience so they can manage difficulties more effectively in daily life.

She has experience helping people with insomnia and with grief and loss. Her approach is also applied to stress, low mood and situations where people feel stuck or overwhelmed. Linda describes her style as friendly and creative, and she aims to help clients make practical changes in the here and now.

Linda offers therapeutic coaching alongside counselling, using Gestalt methods to generate new perspectives and quicker insight. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online options button.

How Gestalt methods translate to online sessions

Linda uses Gestalt therapy as her main approach. Gestalt focuses on present-moment awareness - noticing thoughts, feelings and behaviours as they occur. This can help with issues like anger, anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by highlighting habitual responses and offering alternative ways of acting.

She also integrates therapeutic coaching techniques. That means working on practical steps and resources alongside the awareness work, aiming to identify strengths and build resilience for everyday challenges such as insomnia or grief-related difficulties.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they decide whether to emphasise awareness work, practical coaching, or a mix of both based on the client’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for remote conversation, and practical tools from Gestalt work translate to remote sessions so clients can try new ways of responding between meetings.
