About Linda
Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns, and she lists anger among the issues she works with.
She meets people where they are and works on what they bring to sessions. That might be persistent worry, difficulty sleeping, problems at work, or the after-effects of trauma and loss. She also mentions experience with neurodiversity and long-term health conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
Her style is down to earth and practical. She uses person-centred ideas at the core of her work, then draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused therapy when these fit a person's goals. She aims to help clients increase self-awareness and find clearer ways forward.
Linda can offer psycho-education and concrete strategies alongside talking work. She also provides signposting to national and local services for mental health, autism and related concerns. Her background includes roles with MIND, MS-UK, a GP surgery and community services in Plymouth.
Sessions move at the client's pace and avoid pressing someone to revisit material they are not ready to explore. The overall focus is on practical understanding, greater clarity and steps people can try between appointments.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Linda uses a person-centred base alongside cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening, understanding a person's priorities and working at their chosen pace. CBT looks at practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anger, anxiety and mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support better sleep.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods that suit the person. That collaborative planning means strategies can be adjusted as work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also remove travel time and let someone join from a quieter setting without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy consistent with their daily lives.
