About Linda
Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience supporting people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and depression. Linda offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and focuses on helping people find practical ways forward.
She meets clients where they are and works at a pace they set. Common issues she helps with include relationship difficulties, bereavement, work problems and life transitions.
Background and approach
She also supports people living with neurodiversity and long-term health conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Linda uses a person-centred stance as the foundation of her work. That means she listens first, then collaborates with each person to identify goals and ways to move forward.
She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused approaches when these suit the person’s needs. In sessions she offers practical strategies and clear explanation about how different approaches can help. She can also signpost to local and national services for additional support around mental health, wellbeing, autism and neurodivergence.
Her style is compassionate, straightforward and gently challenging when appropriate. Linda’s background includes counselling roles for MIND, MS-UK, primary care in a GP surgery and a community trust in Plymouth. She is also trained as a Samaritan and has experience with social prescribing and knowledge of relevant services across the UK.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT offers practical exercises and strategies to test out between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Linda will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. You can try different techniques and adjust the plan as you go, so the work reflects what helps you most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a more face-to-face experience, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, live chat offers a quick check-in and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to continue work even when in-person meetings are not possible.
