About Linda

Linda Coggan is a counsellor who draws on trauma-focused, attachment and client-centred approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and difficult life events. She brings 18 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable. She helps people talk through grief and loss, relationship strain, and problems with sleep or eating.

Linda also supports people dealing with self-esteem, anger, and the practical strains of caregiving and parenting.

Background and approach

Her work includes addressing trauma and abuse alongside mood disorders and ADHD-related concerns. In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening without judgement. The first meetings tend to clarify what matters most to the client and set simple, realistic goals.

Clients can expect conversations that are direct but compassionate, with techniques chosen to suit their everyday life. Linda uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practical steps to test them out. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of closeness and distance.

Mindfulness-based practices are offered to help manage stress and bring attention back to the present. Her practice aims to support people through change, whether that is coping with loss, navigating relationship challenges, or finding steadier mood and routine. Linda emphasises collaboration and steady progress over time, adapting the approach to each person's needs.

How therapy approaches translate online

Trauma-focused therapy online concentrates on recognising the effects of traumatic experiences and building stabilisation skills. It often starts with grounding and emotion regulation techniques that can be practised between sessions to reduce distress and increase daily functioning.

Attachment-based work looks at patterns of relating and how they affect current connections. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to help clients notice repeated habits and try different ways of connecting in everyday life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will listen to your goals and preferences, explain different options, and agree a plan that fits your situation. Changes are made together if something does not feel helpful.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
