About Linda
Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has seven years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and low mood. Her manner is down to earth and compassionate, and she aims to help people find clearer ways forward.
Linda offers straightforward, practical support for problems that crop up in daily life.
Background and approach
People come to her for help with relationships, sleep problems, parenting strain, career concerns and coping with life changes. She also supports those affected by trauma, grief, chronic illness and long-term conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Her work centres on the person’s priorities.
Linda uses a person-centred stance while bringing in techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work when helpful. She will discuss approaches and tailor sessions to fit each person’s needs and pace. Linda has experience in a range of settings, including work for mental health charities, primary care in GP surgery settings and community development organisations.
She also has training as a Samaritan and experience with social prescribing and local support services. In sessions she combines listening and practical strategies. That can mean learning grounding and breathing skills, trying small behaviour changes, or looking at thinking patterns.
Her aim is to help people recognise their strengths and build a workable plan for moving forward.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Linda combines a person-centred approach with cognitive behavioural therapy in online work. Person-centred counselling means the therapist listens closely, follows your priorities and helps you make sense of what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link, and introduces practical techniques to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different techniques and agree on a plan together. That way the approach can be adjusted as progress is made or needs change.
Online therapy can be flexible and practical. Video calls let people use visual cues and feel more like face-to-face sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, to try out ideas between sessions or for those who prefer writing. These options help people access therapy around work, care duties and travel constraints, while keeping the focus on coping skills and steady progress.
