About Linda
Linda Coggan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 18 years of clinical experience and a BACP registration. She focuses on everyday pressures such as stress and anxiety, and on life events like grief and relationship difficulties. Her manner is calm and straightforward, aiming to make it easier to talk about hard things.
Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental space to share thoughts and feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Background and approach
She helps people name problems and try small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive approaches to understand how early relationships and current thinking shape reactions today. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with tension and sleeplessness.
Trauma-informed methods support people who have painful or difficult past experiences. Linda has particular experience helping with parenting stress, family challenges, and issues linked to mood and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with anger, work pressure, and changes such as bereavement or career shifts.
Attention difficulties and neurodiversity concerns are part of her additional focus. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Goals are agreed together and reviewed as progress is made.
Practical tools and short exercises are offered between sessions when helpful. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, giving options for different needs and routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and behaviours, helping people understand why they react a certain way and how to form safer connections. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep and concentration.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel most useful. Sessions are collaborative and goals are reviewed over time so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues while staying at home; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel.
