About Linda Henderson
Linda Henderson is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years of practice, registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on experience across settings including work with MIND, MS-UK, in primary care at a GP surgery, and for a community economic development trust in Plymouth. Linda is also a trained Samaritan and has experience in social prescribing, giving her a broad knowledge of local and national services related to mental health, wellbeing, autism and neurodivergence.
She supports people facing a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and confidence issues, grief and life changes. Linda has particular experience working with autistic clients, people living with neurodiversity and those affected by multiple sclerosis. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, family problems, parenting, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, anger, career and caregiver stress among other challenges.
Linda uses a down-to-earth, compassionate style rooted in a person centred approach. She works collaboratively with clients to build self-awareness, identify strengths and develop practical strategies. Therapy is tailored to each person and may draw on techniques from several approaches to match individual needs. Working in a trauma informed way, she respects the client’s pace and will not push anyone to explore matters they are not ready to face.
Alongside exploratory work, Linda offers psycho-education and signposting to appropriate services when helpful. Her aim is to help people find clarity, develop coping tools and move forward with greater understanding and confidence.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support
Linda often uses a person centred approach, which focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work. This approach helps people who want to explore feelings, build self-awareness and develop confidence in their own strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another method she employs to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress and problems that benefit from structured skills practice.
Mindfulness therapy is used to help clients develop present-moment awareness and strategies for managing stress and difficult emotions. Techniques from mindfulness can support coping with ongoing worry, sleep difficulties and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Linda works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting pace and techniques as the relationship develops.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel, and allow people to access registered professionals from their own home or another comfortable setting.
