About Linda

Linda Coggan is a counsellor who focuses on building understanding and practical change. She uses a collaborative, person-focused way of working to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. Linda brings 18 years of practice in the United Kingdom and works in English.

She creates a calm space where clients can talk without judgement. Sessions aim to make feelings clearer and to find doable steps forward. People often come for help with sleep, eating, anger, low self-esteem or major life changes.

Background and approach

Linda draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches to explore relationships and patterns that affect daily life. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and to test different ways of coping. Trauma-focused and mindfulness methods are used when past events or intense stress need careful attention.

Work with Linda tends to be practical and paced to each person. Conversations identify small actions to reduce anxiety, improve routines and restore balance. Parents and caregivers may find strategies for managing strain and improving communication.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right schedule and format. The subscription model can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and responses. It helps people understand why certain situations feel threatening and supports building safer ways of relating. Client-centred practice puts the person at the heart of the sessions and aims to make it easier to talk things through without judgement. This approach is useful for people who need time to find their own solutions and regain confidence.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Together, these approaches mean therapy can address relationship patterns, panic, low mood and everyday coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about different methods and agree a plan based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as new issues emerge and progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can help with brief updates, ongoing reflection between sessions or when someone needs more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life.
