About Linda

Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist who practises in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of experience supporting people facing a range of difficulties. Linda works in a straightforward and compassionate way to help people make sense of what is happening in their lives.

She welcomes whatever someone brings to sessions - anxiety, low mood, relationship trouble, grief or life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions can also focus on confidence, motivation and coping with long-term health conditions. Linda has worked with people who are autistic and those living with neurodiversity, and she has experience supporting people affected by multiple sclerosis. Her approach is rooted in the person centred model, which means she listens closely and shapes therapy around each individual.

She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural, mindfulness and solution-focused work when that will help. The aim is to increase self-awareness and build on people’s own strengths. Linda uses practical strategies and offers psycho-education when useful, so people can try things between sessions.

She also knows local and national services for mental health, autism and neurodivergence and can signpost where appropriate. Her manner is down to earth and she encourages clients to set the pace. Previous roles include counselling for MIND, MS-UK, work in primary care within a GP surgery and a community economic development trust in Plymouth.

She is also a trained Samaritan and has experience in social prescribing, which informs how she links people to extra support when needed.

Ways of working Linda names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches you can use online and what to expect

Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening without judgement and following the client’s priorities. It helps people feel understood and find direction at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together you can try different techniques and agree what to keep using as therapy progresses.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit an appointment into a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and other responsibilities.
