I am a psychotherapist with twenty five years experience. I am also a trainer and clinical supervisor and author of counselling text books and self help books. My approach is integrative which means I am trained in several models and adapt my approach to meet the needs of the client. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, solution focused and transactional analysist. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I currently work with children and adolescents particularly around self harm, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, communication, bullying, loss and friendship issues.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and other anxiety disorders and substance misuse. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.
I offer a warm and understanding relationship and a safe space to talk and explore your difficulties. Taking that first step is sometimes difficult but I will support you through that process and further help you to overcome the difficulties that you are struggling with,

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Fabulous!
Linda has been amazing. She really cares and listens. She has helped me through so much and I can’t thank her enough for that.
Linda is approachable, honest, kind and a good listener. I feel Linda has taken time to understand me and get to know me, she is present and I feel I can rely on her.
So far Linda has been very patient with me as I'm an individual who struggles with learning difficulties and find it difficult to explain what I want and how I feel. She is quick to change methods for me and uses tactics to help me trough our sessions. Thank you Linda
Linda is a very experienced professional. She has a lot of empathy and is an intelligent and patient lady. I enjoy my sessions with her and I am glad that BetterHelp was recommended to me by a friend.
