About Linda
Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of practice in the United Kingdom supporting adults with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Her work also covers self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and a wide range of practical problems that can appear in early adulthood and beyond.
Linda welcomes talking about whatever feels most pressing, whether that is persistent low mood, feeling stuck after university or a first job, difficulty with intimacy, or struggles with sleep and focus. She also has experience supporting people who are autistic or neurodivergent and those living with long-term illness such as Multiple Sclerosis.
Her approach is grounded in person-centred values. Sessions aim to build a clear working relationship and to make space for the client to describe what they want to change. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work when they fit the client’s goals.
Practical strategies and psycho-education are offered when useful, for example tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep or breaking down overwhelming tasks. Linda also signposts to local and national services for extra support around mental health and neurodiversity.
She has worked in community and clinical settings including charities and primary care, and has Samaritan training and social prescribing experience. The focus is on helping people increase awareness, try different ways of coping and find a clearer sense of direction.
How Linda uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Client-centred therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of each session. The therapist listens closely, helps you set the agenda and shapes the work around what matters to you. This approach is useful when you want space to sort out feelings and priorities rather than follow a fixed plan.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on understanding links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and practical life challenges faced in early adulthood.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. It can be helpful for managing stress, improving concentration and easing repetitive negative thoughts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together what to try first, adapting the plan over time to fit changing needs and goals.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session feels too much. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor sessions to your routine and commitments, so practical arrangements match what you need.
