About Linda

Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Linda also works with issues such as grief, trauma, parenting strain, sleep problems and compassion fatigue, and helps people facing life changes or career concerns.

She welcomes whatever someone brings to sessions, whether that is feeling stuck, worrying a lot, or wanting clearer direction. Linda uses everyday language and practical strategies so clients can make sense of what is happening for them. She draws on techniques from several approaches and helps people build on their own strengths.

Her background includes counselling for MIND, MS-UK, work in primary care in a GP surgery, and a Community Economic Development Trust in Plymouth. She has trained as a Samaritan and has experience with social prescribing, which informs her knowledge of local and national support services for mental health, autism and neurodivergence.

Linda places a client-centred approach at the core of her practice. She and the client decide together what to focus on and the pace of work. She will offer information and practical strategies when helpful, and signpost to other services if needed.

She works in a trauma-informed way and will not push someone to discuss things they are not ready to explore. The aim is to increase self-awareness, clarify next steps and help the person find manageable ways to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, helping them to set the pace and goals of the work. It suits people who want a reflective space to make sense of feelings and relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple tools to test unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties by practising new ways of responding.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree which approaches and techniques fit their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made over early sessions, and approaches can be adjusted as goals change.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing sessions during a lunch break. Some formats may also make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to use exercises without being on camera. Ask about practical arrangements when you book to see what will work for you.
