About Linda
Linda Coggan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and anger. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties.
Her approach draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques to look at patterns that keep problems repeating. She also uses client-centred methods to make space for a person’s own perspective and mindfulness tools to help with grounding and emotional regulation. These methods are used together to address concerns like sleep problems, mood fluctuations, and coping with life changes.
Linda helps people talk through issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication problems. She also works with those struggling with caregiver stress, codependency, guilt and shame, or challenges linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. Practical conversation and simple exercises are typical in sessions.
Her background includes trauma-focused approaches for people affected by abuse or traumatic events. That work tends to focus on breaking down distressing memories into manageable parts and building coping skills to reduce intense reactions. The emphasis is on steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Her work blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and behaviour, helping people spot repeating patterns and try different responses. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety, anger or low mood. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to lower reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods are tested and adjusted as needed rather than chosen in advance without input.
