When trauma is involved she integrates trauma-focused practices to reduce distress and build safety. Sessions are conducted in ways that fit varied schedules and preferences. Linda offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best for them.

Approaches that fit your goals and an online option that fits your life

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarify what matters most. This approach is helpful when someone needs validation and steady support while making decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term coaching style that helps people find their own reasons to change, useful for addiction or when motivation feels low.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda treats selecting methods as a collaboration, matching techniques to the client's goals and preferences. She adapts plans as progress is made so the approach stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and other demands. They also let people choose the format they find most comfortable while keeping continuity of care across weeks and months.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
