The ideal environment is one that both supports & challenges us. Too often we go without both of these conditions. A Life Coach will tease out and help you create your vision of what you really want your life to be. If everything in your life stays status quo, you will head into a default future. We need another perspective if not we tend to go around repeating our default patterns and getting nowhere. As a Transformational Life Coach Linda will support you to become the successful and truly happy person you know you are meant to be.

Most people come to see me when the "keep the head down and get on with it" approach finally stops working. On the outside, things look fine—you’re hitting your targets and managing the day-to-day. But inside, it’s a constant hum of anxiety, the "Sunday Scaries," or the heavy weight of burnout.
I set up TalkingACT to provide a space that is practical, straightforward, and entirely free of clinical waffle. If you are tired of treading water and want a down-to-earth environment to figure out why you’re stuck, you’re in the right place. I focus on where you are now and how to get you moving again.

Both individuals and couples want to feel empowered to live our best life. But we don’t know how — so end up feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated or stuck. We often turn to food, alcohol, people pleasing, overworking and other habits just to cope. If this feels familiar, I can help you take back control. Reaching out is the first step toward reclaiming your power and creating the life you truly want.
For couples, even the strongest, happiest relationships can become strained over time, so couples therapy is about exploring your current emotional distance. Please call because it doesn’t have to be like this for both of you!

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
