Linda Coggan, BACP

Linda Coggan uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to help people understand their relationships and emotional patterns. She combines practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to manage anxiety, low mood and stress. Linda has 18 years of experience and works in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and offers sessions in English.

Linda helps people talk through relationship difficulties and grief in straightforward language. She also supports those coping with trauma, anger, sleep or eating problems, and life transitions. Her focus includes concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and communication problems. She also works with people navigating blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues and caregiver stress.

Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental. Linda encourages clients to notice what gets in the way of feeling steady and to try small practical changes. Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used where helpful to shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. Mindfulness practices are offered to build calm and clearer focus.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. Linda helps people set realistic goals and checks in on progress. The work may include exploring painful memories with trauma-focused methods when needed, alongside building better communication and coping skills.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions. Linda offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging as ways to work together.

How attachment, CBT and mindfulness work online

Linda uses attachment-based methods to help people understand patterns in their close relationships and how these affect feelings and behaviour. This approach helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment worries or repeating painful relationship cycles.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try small practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating difficulties because it breaks problems into manageable steps. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people notice their thoughts and calm their nervous system through simple exercises and breathing techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Linda collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made. This keeps the process practical and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit deeper, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can work when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments while retaining consistent therapeutic support.
