About Linda
Linda Coggan is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She is a BACP Therapist (Registered Member MBACP) with 18 years of professional experience in the UK. Linda aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to support small steps towards change.
She creates a calm space where people can say what they think and feel without judgement. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect everyday life. Conversations are practical and down to earth, with attention to what is happening now as well as links to past experience.
Linda draws on cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques when they fit a person's goals. This can mean trying short exercises in session, learning ways to manage overwhelming thoughts, or practising simple breathing and attention skills. Trauma-focused ideas are used sensitively when past hurts are getting in the way of daily life.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as grief, parenting stress, sleep problems, eating issues, anger, low self-esteem and career-related strain. She also supports people facing abandonment, attachment and communication difficulties, and those coping with neurodiversity-related challenges.
Sessions follow the client's pace and priorities. People often start by identifying a few practical changes they can try between appointments. Linda encourages realistic steps that fit into everyday routines and aims to help people regain a clearer sense of direction.
How her approaches translate to online work
Linda often uses attachment-based ideas to map how early relationship patterns affect current stress and connections. This approach helps people see repeating dynamics and practise new ways of relating, which can ease relationship strain and feelings of abandonment.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood, sleep and unhelpful coping habits by trying small, goal-focused experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is done together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that suit their situation. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan fits evolving needs.
Check the session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that helps. It also means exercises and mindfulness practices can be reviewed alongside daily routines, helping people try new skills in the situations where they matter most.
