About Linda

Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP. She has seven years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those navigating relationship issues, grief, life changes and trauma and abuse.

Her style is down-to-earth and compassionate. She aims to help people notice and use their own strengths. Sessions are shaped around what the person brings, so pace and focus are decided together.

Background and approach

Linda offers practical tools alongside reflective listening. She can share short strategies to manage sleep, anger, overwhelm or worry, and longer conversations to increase self-awareness and clarity. Psycho-education and signposting to local and national services are also part of her work.

She has worked with MIND, MS-UK, in primary care at a GP surgery and for a community economic development trust in Plymouth. She is a trained Samaritan and has experience in social prescribing, with knowledge of services for mental health and neurodiversity. The person-centred approach sits at the heart of her practice.

Linda combines that with techniques from cognitive behavioural, mindfulness and solution-focused work. She works in a trauma-informed way and will not ask anyone to explore something they do not feel ready to address. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, with an emphasis on helping people find a clearer way forward.

Linda aims to support, empower and gently challenge those who want change.

How Linda uses therapy approaches online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people work out what matters most and set their own goals. This method helps with low mood, uncertainty and rebuilding confidence.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxious thinking and unhelpful habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She will explain options and adapt techniques as the relationship develops so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chats or text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These flexible options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments.
