About Linda
Linda Coggan is a counsellor with 18 years' experience practising in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Linda offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them and start to make changes.
She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress and career uncertainty.
Background and approach
Clients come for help with anger, self-esteem, life transitions and ADHD-related challenges as well. Linda draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to build understanding of how past experiences shape current difficulties. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical alternatives.
Mindfulness and trauma-focused methods are also available when appropriate for dealing with overwhelming memories and strong emotions. Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Linda listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals.
Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person’s needs. Her typical approach is practical and down-to-earth. She guides people through coping strategies for day-to-day life, and helps them notice patterns that keep problems going.
Over time she supports clients to build new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss goals and try different methods together to see what helps. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversation similar to face-to-face work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing, want brief updates, or need a more flexible way to keep in touch. These options aim to make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
