About Linda

Linda Coggan works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and related concerns using a client-centred and attachment-focused approach. She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member (MBACP) and has 18 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Linda keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the person sitting in front of her. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and practical problems. Conversations often look at how relationships and past experiences affect current behaviour and mood.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred methods. That means she pays attention to patterns in close relationships and listens for what each person needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices are used when they fit the issue at hand.

She has long experience with trauma and abuse, and with problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and mood disturbance. Linda also offers support for people dealing with parenting stresses, caregiver strain, and blended family challenges.

People come for help with work and career stress, low self-esteem, isolation, and life transitions. She also works with concerns linked to ADHD, autism spectrum and attachment or abandonment issues. Sessions aim to be practical, clarifying next steps and coping strategies as well as exploring feelings.

Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients should follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early and close relationships shape current feelings and behaviour; online sessions can help identify those patterns and work on healthier ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own answers, useful for relationship strain, low self-esteem and life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) involves practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, suited to anxiety, sleep or mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try. That decision is shared and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and reduced travel time. If you need confirmation of which session formats are offered, check the booking options before you arrange sessions, since the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can be used to continue regular work, manage short check-ins, or practise skills learned in therapy to suit everyday life.
