Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. First of all congratulations on taking the first step in looking for support and seeing what is available out there.
Some information about me, my name is Linda Austin, I am a qualified counsellor and with a wide range of experience. I have worked within the criminal justice system, domestic abuse, drug and alcohol services, behaviour change interventions, as well as relationships and day to day issues relating to anxiety and depression too.
I am unique in my style of counselling, I am straight talking, I will give honest and direct feedback should you seek it, and will offer forms of guidance where requested. But in addition to this, I believe you are the expert on you. I will listen to you, I will not judge you. Counselling for me is a collaborative effort, where as much as I am here to support you, I am also someone who will be real and share my own lived experiences should they be relevant.
So if you have got this far and you would like to give therapy a go, feel free to book a session, and lets work together to get you the best outcome for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
