Linda Henderson
Understanding, practical counselling for life change
About Linda
Linda Henderson is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of practical experience helping people who feel stuck, anxious, low in mood, or facing major life changes. Her work is grounded in a person-centred way of relating.
She listens first and follows what each person brings to sessions. That might be worries about work, grief, relationship strain, sleep problems, or questions about identity and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of approaches tailored to each person. This can include cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to reduce stress, and solution-focused steps to try between sessions. Linda aims to help people notice their own strengths and find realistic ways forward.
Linda has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, long-term health challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes roles with MIND, MS-UK, primary care in a GP surgery, and community services in Plymouth, and she has experience with neurodiversity and autism. Sessions are intended to be down to earth and compassionate.
Linda offers information and practical strategies when useful, and she will signpost to local or national services where needed. She keeps the pace of work comfortable and works in a trauma-informed way that avoids pushing someone to relive things they are not ready to discuss. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions.
Therapy is shaped around individual goals and preferences, and Linda works alongside each person as they explore change.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting relationship. The therapist listens carefully and follows what the individual wants to work on, helping them make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can help with low mood, self-esteem, and feeling stuck.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small practical changes that reduce distress. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences at the start and adjust methods as needed, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around. This is a collaborative process where techniques are chosen together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging suits those who prefer to write. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or mobility challenges, and allow consistent contact even when life changes.
