About Linda
Linda Henderson is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of direct experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Linda offers a calm, straightforward approach aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward when life feels difficult.
She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood or depression, and those facing major life changes. Relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, sleep problems and work-related strain are also within her focus.
Background and approach
She also has experience supporting people on the autistic spectrum and those living with long-term conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Linda works in a person-centred way, which means she follows what each person brings to sessions and builds the work around their needs. She draws on a mix of approaches, tailoring strategies and practical tools to suit each situation.
Sessions include listening, reflective conversation and, when helpful, psycho-education and simple techniques to try between meetings. Her style is down-to-earth and compassionate. She aims to help people notice their own strengths and to use those strengths to make changes.
She keeps the pace guided by the client and will not push someone to discuss things they are not ready to explore. Linda has worked with charities and in primary care settings, and she can signpost to local and national services when additional support is useful.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How Linda works online
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small, practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress by offering clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and she will adapt the mix of methods in collaboration with each person. The aim is to develop strategies that fit everyday life and to set a pace that feels safe and useful.
If you are thinking about online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what would work best for scheduling, session length and practical needs so you can make a choice that suits your life.
