Linda Coggan, BACP

Linda Coggan is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She draws on nearly two decades of experience to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Linda offers space to talk through painful experiences without judgement. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that can make a real difference. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns.

Over 18 years in the field have given her experience with a wide range of concerns. These include sleep and eating difficulties, parenting pressures, anger and low self-esteem. She also works with people managing mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and the ongoing effects of abuse.

Linda uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce overwhelming feelings and to build calmer attention. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events are getting in the way of everyday life.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. Sessions are held from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English.

How Linda's approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when repeated relationship difficulties cause stress or when caregiving roles bring up old wounds. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and builds a respectful, non-judgemental space for talking. It can help people feel understood and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that suit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Check the platform's session formats and schedule to see what fits your routine.
