About Linda
Linda Coggan is a counsellor who uses a gentle, person-centred way of working. She aims to create an open space where people can talk about worry, grief and relationship struggles without feeling judged. Linda holds BACP registration and brings 18 years of experience in helping people make practical changes in their lives.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That can help with fears around abandonment, difficulties trusting others, and problems with closeness. Linda also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build clearer coping steps for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.
Mindfulness practices are used in short exercises that calm the body and focus attention. These can be useful for stress, anger and when feelings feel overwhelming. Trauma-focused methods are used sensitively to support people affected by past abuse or other traumatic events.
Linda works with a wide range of concerns including codependency, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD-related difficulties, eating and self-esteem problems. She also addresses family conflict, communication issues and feelings of isolation. Sessions aim to be practical, with small steps you can test between meetings.
Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Many of Linda's methods adapt well to remote conversations. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how those early experiences affect current connections; online sessions can explore these patterns through reflective conversation and practical exercises. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses short, structured tasks to test new ways of thinking and acting, which suit remote check-ins and between-session homework.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda will work with each person to identify which methods match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the plan as understanding grows.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or offering a quieter space with less visual demand. Registered professionals, including therapists using attachment-based and CBT approaches, often find that regular remote sessions help maintain momentum and apply new skills between meetings.
