About Linda
Linda Coggan is a BACP therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and other common life challenges. Sessions focus on straightforward, practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and try different responses.
Linda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. She uses short, focused exercises to name unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. Mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas are available when they fit the issue and the person.
She helps people manage sleeping and eating difficulties, anger and low self-esteem, career stress and mood problems. There is also support for parenting strain, caregiver stress, and concerns related to abandonment or attachment. Autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant personality patterns and codependency are included among areas she addresses.
Sessions are practical and conversational. A typical meeting might review the week, spot a thought or habit that caused trouble, try a small behavioural experiment, and agree simple steps to try before the next session. Work is collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort.
Linda records her membership as MBACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Linda commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centred work. CBT is focused on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to see what helps. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns from close relationships and how they affect current reactions. Client-centred work emphasises listening and helping people set their own pace and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That means sessions are collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, try exercises during ordinary days, or schedule sessions around work and family commitments. Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged.
