About Linda

Linda Ward is a counsellor who works from a client-centred core and draws on several therapeutic approaches to support people through hard times. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and brings three years of professional practice to her work.

Linda aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. She often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood.

Background and approach

She also helps those who are coping with trauma or abuse and with life changes that feel overwhelming. Her wider focus includes issues such as attachment, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress and feelings of isolation. Linda adapts her style to each person.

Sessions start by listening closely to what someone wants to change. From there she helps people notice patterns and find practical ways to move forward. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person in the room.

She uses approaches that look at past relationships and present feelings, alongside trauma-focused work when it is needed. This mix aims to help people understand where difficulties come from and to build new ways of relating to themselves and others. Linda also has experience working with neurodivergent people and in supporting sexual and women's issues.

Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Linda draws on attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns; this approach looks at connection and trust to make sense of repeated struggles. Client-centred therapy is another main strand and puts the person's experience at the heart of the session, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and support to help someone find their own solutions.

She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past harm affects daily life, helping people to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together, checking in regularly to make sure the plan still fits.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for scheduling and access. Video calls let you see facial cues and keep a near face-to-face rhythm, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer not to use video or who want flexible, written ways to reflect between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy around home, work and family life while keeping the focus on meaningful therapeutic progress.
