Linda Luckhurst

Approaches that guide online sessions

Linda uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person's needs. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and replacing them with small, manageable changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps with stress, panic and mood-related difficulties.

Another approach works with past hurts and traumatic experiences by pacing exposure to difficult memories and building skills to manage strong emotions. This can be useful for people affected by trauma, abuse, dissociation and complex grief.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. The therapist discusses options with each person and together they decide which approaches best fit the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
