About Linda Henderson
Linda Henderson is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) in the United Kingdom. She brings seven years of practice supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, and depression. Her experience also extends to working with people on the autistic spectrum, those living with neurodiversity, and individuals affected by Multiple Sclerosis.
She works with whatever a person wishes to bring to therapy - from anxiety, low mood or depression to relationship problems, workplace strain, major life changes or bereavement. She often supports people who feel stuck or who sense that something in their life is not working as they would like.
Her style is down to earth and compassionate, with a focus on helping people recognise and make use of their own strengths. She aims to increase self-awareness, provide clarity and understanding, and identify practical ways forward. Her practice is holistic and tailored, drawing on techniques from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, and solution-focused therapy to meet individual needs.
Her background includes counselling roles with MIND and MS-UK, work within primary care in a GP surgery, and a position with a Community Economic Development Trust in Plymouth. She is a trained Samaritan, has social prescribing experience, and holds extensive knowledge of local and national services related to mental health, wellbeing, autism and neurodivergence.
The person-centred approach is central to her work and she prioritises building a strong therapeutic alliance. She explores with individuals what they hope to gain from therapy and how they prefer to work, then applies a mix of therapeutic techniques to support, empower and gently challenge as needed. She works in a trauma-informed way and does not ask people to explore anything they do not feel comfortable addressing. Where appropriate, she offers psycho-education, practical strategies and signposting to local or national services to help people understand and manage their situations.
Linda views people as the experts in their own stories and seeks to help them identify and use their existing strengths while walking alongside them through the process of change and recovery.

Could Virtual Sessions Be a Good Fit?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best: by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to engage in the format that feels most comfortable.
Licensed professionals provide care through these remote formats, and it is possible to change therapists if someone feels a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and practical route to support when dealing with everyday mental health and life challenges.
