Linda Henderson, BACP

Linda Henderson is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. With seven years of clinical experience, she supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her practice also includes work with autistic clients, those living with neurodiversity, and people managing multiple sclerosis.

Her way of working is grounded in a person-centred philosophy - focusing on the client as the expert in their own life - delivered in a down-to-earth and compassionate manner. She combines person-centred listening with practical techniques drawn from different modalities to increase self-awareness, clarify goals, and identify a way forward. She aims to help people recognise and draw on their inner strengths while offering psycho-education and strategies where appropriate to address specific challenges.

Linda has experience across a variety of settings, including counselling for MIND and MS-UK, work within Primary Care at a GP surgery, and provision for a Community Economic Development Trust in Plymouth. She is a trained Samaritan, has social prescribing experience, and possesses extensive knowledge of local and national services related to mental health, wellbeing, autism, and neurodivergence. Her practice is trauma-informed and tailored to each person’s pace and needs.
