About Linda

Linda Zack is a Gestalt counsellor who uses present-moment awareness to help people move forward. She is registered in the UK and brings ten years of volunteer and professional experience to her work. Her style is relaxed and approachable and she aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.

Linda focuses on increasing self-awareness so people can notice patterns they repeat. She helps clients identify strengths and build resilience to cope with life changes and everyday pressures.

Background and approach

The work often centres on what is happening right now rather than dwelling on the past. She has supported people through grief and loss and has practical experience with sleeping difficulties, including insomnia. Her practice also includes stress, low mood, anxiety, depression and situations where people feel stuck and unsure how to move on.

Linda offers therapeutic coaching alongside Gestalt techniques to help people gain new perspectives and try small, achievable changes. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with simple exercises or metaphors used to clarify feelings and choices. As a registered practitioner with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she follows professional standards in the UK.

Sessions are intended to be a space to speak openly and to test new ways of being without judgement. This approach suits people who want practical, present-focused work and clear steps to change.

How Gestalt approaches work online

Gestalt counselling focuses on present-moment awareness and simple, practical exercises that bring attention to thoughts, feelings and behaviours as they occur. In practice this means noticing patterns in the session, trying short experiments, and using metaphors or role work to make things clearer. It can help with grief, anxiety, low mood and situations where someone feels stuck.

Linda also uses therapeutic coaching alongside Gestalt techniques to help people set small goals and test new ways of responding. Coaching often involves breaking problems into manageable steps and reviewing progress together, which suits people who want quick, practical changes as well as deeper self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can shift between talking, short in-session exercises and planning real-world tasks based on what feels most useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more interactive exercises and face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and to keep continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
