About Linda

Linda Henderson works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem and depression, using approaches drawn from Client-Centred Therapy, CBT, mindfulness and solution-focused work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of practice in the United Kingdom.

She helps people bring whatever they wish to talk about, including life changes, bereavement, grief and trauma or issues around intimacy and sleep. She also has experience supporting people with ADHD, neurodiversity and clients living with long-term health conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

Her work is straightforward and practical. She listens first, then offers ways to understand what is happening and simple strategies to try. Sessions can include psycho-education and skills practice when these seem helpful.

Linda has worked in a variety of settings, including mental health organisations, primary care in a GP surgery, and charities focused on community and neurological support. She has also trained as a Samaritan and has experience with social prescribing and local mental health resources.

She places the person-centred approach at the core of her practice and aims to build a collaborative working relationship. Progress is paced by the person in therapy, and she uses a trauma-informed stance that avoids asking someone to discuss things they are not ready to address.

If appropriate, she will suggest practical signposting to local or national services for extra support. To begin, people are asked to use the site matching process and book an initial session via the platform.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, helping them to feel heard and to clarify what they want from counselling. It suits people who need a steady, person-led space to explore feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve how someone responds to difficult thoughts. It can be useful alongside other strategies for managing mood and sleep.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then agree how to proceed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed programme.

Please check which session formats she currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt their approach for remote sessions so people can continue practical skill work and reflection without changing their daily routines.
