Linda Henderson , BACP

Linda Henderson is a UK-based counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). With seven years of experience, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and a range of life changes. She also has experience working with autistic clients, people living with neurodiversity, and those with multiple sclerosis.

Her practice is flexible and client-led, welcoming whatever someone brings to therapy - from feelings of being stuck to grief, parenting challenges, career questions, trauma and abuse, or struggles with intimacy and sleep. She combines a down-to-earth, compassionate manner with practical tools, offering psycho-education, coping strategies and signposting to relevant local and national services when appropriate.

Person-centered work lies at the heart of her approach; she builds a therapeutic alliance that aims to empower clients to recognise and use their own strengths. She integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work to tailor sessions to individual needs, pacing exploration so that clients only address what they feel ready to explore. Her background includes roles with mental health organisations and primary care, as well as training with the Samaritans and experience in social prescribing and community settings.
