About Linda
Linda Henderson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Linda offers straightforward, compassionate help and aims to build a trusting working relationship from the start.
She works with whatever a person brings to sessions - from depression and grief to career strain, parenting pressures and sleep problems. Linda also has experience supporting people on the autistic spectrum and those living with long-term health conditions.
Background and approach
She helps clients notice strengths and practical steps they can try between meetings. Her style is down to earth and adaptable. Sessions are shaped around the person’s goals and paced to suit how comfortable they feel.
Linda explains ideas clearly and offers practical strategies when helpful, alongside space to talk things through. Linda draws on a mix of approaches to meet different needs. She uses person-centred ways of listening, cognitive tools to challenge unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness to help with stress and concentration.
She also uses short, goal-focused techniques when people want clear next steps. Her background includes counselling roles for MIND, MS-UK, primary care in GP surgery settings and community projects in Plymouth. She has been a trained Samaritan, has social prescribing experience, and can signpost to local and national services related to mental health and neurodivergence.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It teaches simple tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change behaviour, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.
Mindfulness practices help people stay grounded and reduce stress by using awareness of breath and the body. These techniques can improve sleep, focus and the ability to manage overwhelming emotion.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Linda will work with the person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she will adapt the plan as things change. The conversation about what helps happens in the first few sessions and continues throughout therapy.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and have longer sessions, phone work can be lower bandwidth, live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or limited travel and still make steady progress.
