Linda Zack

Linda Zack is qualified in Gestalt psychotherapeutic counselling and is registered in the United Kingdom. She has ten years of experience, having worked as a volunteer both before and after qualifying.

Her practice is informed by the Gestalt approach, a humanistic model that trusts people have the capacity to heal and grow when helped to develop holistic self-awareness. The focus is on present-moment experience - noticing thoughts, feelings, and behaviours as they occur - so habitual patterns can be explored and changed rather than remaining stuck in past events or future worries.

In therapy Linda prioritises honesty, curiosity, dialogue and a non-judgmental stance in the here and now. Her style is relaxed and friendly, and she has been described as supportive, caring and creative in her use of metaphors and Gestalt techniques.

She works with clients to build self-awareness, identify strengths, and develop resilience and resources to meet current obstacles. Linda offers a safe space for people to speak openly and honestly without fear of judgment, and she commonly supports those coping with grief and loss as well as sleeping difficulties, particularly insomnia.

The Gestalt approach she uses is also suitable for a range of difficulties including stress, low mood, anxiety and depression and for situations where people feel stuck. In addition to counselling, Linda provides therapeutic coaching and uses Gestalt methods to offer new ways of seeing problems so clients can gain insight and begin to feel better more quickly.
