Linda Coggan offers a calm, person-focused way of working that starts from understanding people’s relationships and current struggles. She is a BACP therapist with 18 years of experience. Linda helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood to make sense of what is happening and find practical ways forward.

Her sessions aim to be warm and straightforward. Clients can expect a space to talk through grief, relationship difficulties, family tensions and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Linda also supports people dealing with sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem and life changes such as career shifts or parenting stress. Linda uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centred talking, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That mix gives room for exploring past patterns alongside learning new skills to manage feelings and behaviour.

She adapts the methods to each person, keeping things simple and concrete. People with focus concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency or communication problems can bring those topics into sessions. Linda also addresses caregiver stress, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Linda works from the United Kingdom and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - MBACP.

How Linda’s approaches work online

Linda draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand repeated struggles in relationships and feel less alone with difficult emotions. It is useful for concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to break unhelpful thinking and behaviour cycles. CBT gives practical tools for managing anxiety, mood problems, sleeping and eating patterns, and anger. Sessions often include simple exercises and steps to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means adapting the mix of attachment, CBT or mindfulness depending on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a face-to-face experience, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
