About Linda
Linda Zack practises using a Gestalt psychotherapeutic counselling approach and brings ten years of experience to her work in the United Kingdom. She is registered with BACP and NCPS, and she offers a calm, down-to-earth way of talking through what is hard right now.
Sessions focus on the present moment and on helping people notice what they are thinking, feeling and doing as it happens. Her style is relaxed and friendly, and she often uses metaphors and experiential Gestalt techniques.
Background and approach
The aim is to increase self-awareness so people can spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of being. That can free up energy that was tied to old habits and help with everyday struggles. She has practical experience helping people cope with grief and loss and with sleep problems such as insomnia.
She also supports people dealing with stress, low mood, anxiety and feeling stuck in life. Work in sessions includes identifying strengths, building resilience and developing simple steps to manage current difficulties. She offers therapeutic coaching alongside counselling to help people gain new perspectives and make changes more quickly.
Linda creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. If someone wants to focus on awareness and practical change in the here and now, she works with them to explore what will help next.

How Linda works online
Gestalt work also uses creative, experiential techniques and metaphors to help people understand themselves differently. These exercises aim to build resilience and surface strengths that can be used outside sessions. The therapist combines this with therapeutic coaching to support practical changes and to help clients move forward more quickly.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will agree together which techniques to try. Over time they review what works and adjust the work so it better fits the client's everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can be useful for fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel and making it easier to keep regular appointments. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed and can suit quieter or lower-bandwidth conversations for people who prefer not to use video.
