About Linda
Linda Coggan is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support to people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, focused on helping each person feel heard and understood.
Her work often centres on emotional wounds linked to attachment and past trauma. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present difficulties.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Linda also uses client-centred methods to create a relaxed space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about openly. Mindfulness tools are introduced where helpful to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
She adapts these methods to each person’s pace and needs. Over nearly two decades she has helped people with relationship strain, parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, anger and low self-esteem. Her additional focuses include ADHD, caregiver stress, codependency and feelings of isolation.
Sessions aim to build clearer communication, steadier mood and more effective coping strategies. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She supports people to identify small steps that fit their daily life.
The goal is practical change that feels achievable, not rushed progress.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape feelings and relationships now. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to spot repeating patterns and help people change how they relate to others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is about noticing thoughts, feelings and behaviours and testing small practical changes. In video or phone sessions Linda can guide thought records, behavioural experiments and short homework tasks that fit daily life.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as you go, so you and the counsellor decide together what feels most helpful.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
