Linda Lennon, BACP

Linda Lennon uses a person-centred approach to help people who are struggling with anxiety, low mood and stressful life changes. She draws on cognitive behavioural and solution-focused methods to help clients make practical changes. Linda has 22 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

In sessions she listens first and asks clear questions to understand what matters most. She helps people spot patterns in thinking and behaviour and then tries small, realistic steps to test different ways of coping. Conversations focus on practical strategies for sleep, eating, work stress and everyday anxiety as well as on improving self-esteem and managing anger.

Linda also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She works with concerns such as addiction, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, phobias and body image. Communication problems, workplace pressures and coping with life transitions are common themes she addresses.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people draw on their own strengths and build new routines that suit their life. Sessions aim to be useful from the first meeting while also working towards longer-term change.

Linda offers therapy in English and practises within the United Kingdom. She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible for different schedules and needs.

Approaches and how they work online

Linda uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of the work. This means the therapist listens closely and helps people identify their own strengths and goals, which is useful for confidence, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and obsessive or compulsive habits because it focuses on testing new ways of thinking and behaving.

Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what helps right now. It is short-term and goal-directed, which can be useful for workplace issues, communication problems and immediate coping strategies.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options based on the client's needs, preferences and what they want to change. Together they will try methods that fit the person's life and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow longer, face-to-face conversations while phone sessions need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement and people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats offer flexibility so work on CBT tools, person-centred reflection and solution-focused steps can continue around other commitments.
