About Linda
Linda Zack uses a humanistic Gestalt approach to help people notice how they are being in the present moment. She keeps sessions relaxed and friendly while encouraging honest, curious dialogue. Linda aims to help clients increase self-awareness, draw on strengths and build resilience to meet lifes difficulties.
She has ten years of experience working in the UK, including volunteer roles before and after qualification. Linda focuses on what is happening now in a persons life rather than re-living the past.
Background and approach
That practical focus can help undo automatic habits that keep someone feeling stuck. Common concerns she supports include grief and loss, sleep problems such as insomnia, stress, anxiety and low mood. She also offers help for addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating issues, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Additional areas of interest include compassion fatigue, sexuality, LGBT issues and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Linda often uses metaphors and experiential Gestalt techniques to open new ways of seeing a situation. She blends therapeutic coaching with counselling to help clients gain insight and make usable changes more quickly.
Sessions aim to identify practical steps and personal resources that can be used between meetings. Her style is non-judgemental and supportive, creating space for honest conversation. People who want a present-focused, awareness-based way of working may find her approach clear and straightforward.

Online support
She also integrates therapeutic coaching techniques to help people identify goals and try small, doable changes between sessions. Coaching complements Gestalt work by turning insight into clear next steps for sleep, stress or relationship-related concerns. Finding the best mix of techniques is collaborative - the therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work visually when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or simple check-ins are needed, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship with registered or accredited professionals.
