About Linda
Linda Zack is a Gestalt psychotherapeutic counsellor with ten years of UK-based experience. She works in a relaxed, friendly way and focuses on what is happening in the present moment. Linda helps people notice habits and patterns that get in the way and find practical steps to move forward.
She explains Gestalt simply: it encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviour as they happen. That awareness helps people try new ways of being and undo automatic patterns that no longer serve them.
Background and approach
Linda uses metaphors and hands-on techniques drawn from Gestalt work to make that process concrete. In sessions she focuses on building resilience and identifying strengths. She offers therapeutic coaching alongside counselling to help people gain new perspectives and apply them between meetings.
The approach is practical and aimed at easing problems that feel stuck or repetitive. Linda has particular experience supporting people through grief and loss and with sleeping difficulties such as insomnia. She also works with stress, low mood, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns, and helps people manage life changes and compassion fatigue.
She welcomes open conversation about sexuality, kink and alternative sex culture and can address related communication and self-esteem issues. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered within the United Kingdom context.

Online support
Therapeutic coaching alongside Gestalt work offers a practical strand. It focuses on identifying strengths and building resilience so people can try new behaviours between sessions and track what helps. That coaching is goal-oriented while still grounded in present-moment awareness.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively with the client to pick methods that match needs, goals and personal preferences. Sessions can be adjusted over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face dialogue and experiential exercises. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if being on camera feels difficult. Live chat or text messaging can help with quick check-ins, ongoing reflection and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
