Linda HendersonBACP

Linda Henderson is a counsellor and psychotherapist who has worked in the UK for seven years. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Her manner is warm and down to earth, and she focuses on practical steps people can use straight away.

She helps clients who feel stuck, who are coping with bereavement, life changes, work pressure or intimacy concerns. She also has experience supporting people on the autistic spectrum and those living with neurodiversity or chronic conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Sessions aim to build clarity and a clearer path forward.

Her core way of working places the person at the centre. She uses a person-centred approach and draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work to suit each person. The goal is to increase self-awareness and to identify small, manageable changes.

Linda offers straightforward psycho-education and practical strategies when they are helpful. She can also signpost to local and national services for mental health, autism and wellbeing. Her style is supportive, gently challenging and paced to each person's comfort.

Clients are invited to set the pace and choose what to bring to sessions. The intention is to help people recognise strengths and to work alongside them as they find ways to move forward.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people can talk through what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to set the direction of their own work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and bring a calmer perspective to daily stressors.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques from these approaches to fit the work together.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different ways of working to find what helps most without changing their routine.
