I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low-mood, low self-esteem, loneliness, grief/loss, abuse, trauma, infertility, relationship difficulties, work and family issues, to name but a few.

I see every client as a unique individual shaped by their life story, resources, and difficulties. No one else has lived your life or sees the world quite like you do. That’s why I approach therapy with respect for your individuality, and I aim to create a space where your story feels seen, valued, and understood. I work with people who are navigating emotional pain, childhood trauma, relationship struggles, life transitions, or unhelpful patterns that feel resistant to change. Many are looking to better understand themselves, find steadier ground, and build more meaningful connections.

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 acts as the boat, that you the client steps into, to move across the gap, to get you from your current life, to the life that is calling you.

I am a mother and also a foster parent; I offer support and encouragement to other foster parents and their families as they embark on their fostering journey.
I work with couples who are experiencing challenges within their relationship that may be causing unhappiness and disharmony. A relationship does not have to be in crisis to pursue therapy: Couples therapy can help strengthen a relationship by improving communication skills, modifying dysfunctional behaviours and deepening the understanding of one another.

Many adults come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, shame, addiction, or long-standing patterns they can’t seem to change. Some struggle with relationship difficulties, emotional neglect from childhood, low self-worth, or a constant sense of pressure to cope alone. Others feel stuck, burned out, numb, or disconnected from themselves. Therapy can help you make sense of what you’re feeling and begin to untangle the emotional weight you’ve been carrying.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed, as if you're stuck in a cycle of stress and burnout? You're not alone. Many of us experience these feelings without fully understanding their roots. Often, our past experiences shape our present behaviors in ways we may not even be aware of.
In our therapy sessions, I aim to provide you with a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions.
Together, we will uncover the underlying patterns that may be contributing to your anxiety, worry, shame, or stress.

Hi, I am very much a Person-Centred / Humanistic Counsellor who allows the client to explore their issues and find their own way forward. I believe that sometimes we just need to stop and breath and allow ourselves the space to explore what’s next for us. I understand that counselling is not a 'one size fits all' process so I work on an integrated basis with the client to explore the therapies that will work for them. I have a special interest in bereavement as I have been working with clients who have lost loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic. My own history of loss has helped me a great deal in this area.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
