About Linda
Counsellor Linda Coggan is a BACP registered member with 18 years of experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, and related concerns such as anger, low self esteem and sleep problems.
Linda uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. She encourages people to talk about what matters to them and to notice patterns that keep causing distress. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope as well as understanding underlying feelings and attachment patterns.
Her approach draws on attachment-based work and client-centred principles. That means she pays attention to relationships and how they affect current feelings, while keeping the person’s own goals central to the work. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices are also used to help with unhelpful thoughts and anxiety.
Linda has worked across a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting and family stress, eating and mood problems, and issues linked to autism and ADHD. She often helps people manage life transitions and longstanding patterns such as codependency, avoidance and isolation.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients can expect a mix of talking, reflecting and learning small skills to try between meetings. Before booking, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It helps when people want to understand why they repeat certain relationship behaviours or struggle with trust and closeness.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. The counsellor listens without directing, and helps people clarify their aims and make choices that fit their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will discuss options with each person and agree a plan that matches their needs, goals and what feels workable. That planning is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or phone where that helps with quiet surroundings, lower bandwidth, or practical scheduling.
