Linda Henderson is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of experience supporting people with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, motivation, self-esteem, confidence and depression.
Linda also has experience working with people on the autistic spectrum, those living with neurodiversity and clients affected by Multiple Sclerosis. She offers therapy for whatever a person brings - whether that is anxiety, low mood or depression, problems in relationships, issues at work, life changes or bereavement. She is accustomed to helping people who feel stuck or sense that something in their life is not working.
Her manner is down to earth and compassionate, with a focus on helping clients recognise and draw on their inner strengths. Linda works alongside people to increase self-awareness, offering clarity, understanding and practical ways forward. She adopts a holistic, tailored approach and integrates techniques from different therapies to suit each individual.
Linda’s experience includes counselling roles with MIND and MS-UK, work within Primary Care at a GP surgery, and a position with a Community Economic Development Trust in Plymouth. She is a trained Samaritan, has Social Prescribing experience, and holds extensive knowledge of local and national services related to mental health, wellbeing, autism and neurodivergence.
The person centred approach is central to her practice and she prioritises building a strong therapeutic alliance. Linda will discuss what a client wants to gain from therapy and how they prefer to work, then apply appropriate therapeutic techniques to support, empower and gently challenge as needed. Clients set the pace of therapy and she works in a trauma informed way, meaning she will not ask anyone to explore things they do not feel comfortable with.
In addition to exploring difficulties in sessions, Linda can provide psycho-education and practical strategies where suitable, and offer signposting to local and national services for matters including mental health support, wellbeing, autism and neurodivergence. She believes each person is the expert in their own story and aims to help identify strengths while walking alongside clients as they explore what is troubling them. Taking the first step to seek therapy can take courage, and Linda looks forward to meeting and supporting those who reach out.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. It can offer a practical way to access support when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
A major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. People can choose the format that fits their needs and comfort level, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to bring therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and it is possible to change therapists if a different match is preferred. For many, online therapy provides a convenient, effective route to working through everyday challenges and achieving clearer ways forward.
