Meet Linda….

It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you and join with you in the next part of your personal growth. The therapeutic relationship that we will create is a trusted space for you to feel safe and confident to be yourself.

I find it a great honour and privilege to be a psychologist. I wholeheartedly believe in your ability to grow and discover the very best of yourself.

With a fresh perspective, inquisitiveness and empathy, I am comfortable in sitting alongside you through difficult and confronting times. Equally so, I find enjoyment in experiencing the life-changing realisations that come from the exploration of oneself.

My warmth and presence in the sharing of your journey is natural, intentional, and heartfelt.

It can be both a challenging and enriching process to work through your difficulties and towards your dreams. It takes energy.

I commit to keeping your goals in mind as I support you to live a wholesome life by:

• deepening your understanding of yourself,
• accepting and integrating aspects of yourself
• enjoying rich and satisfying relationships,
• feeling safe and confident to explore your inner and outer world,
• finding meaning in your days,
• developing strategies to overcome difficult aspects of your life, and
• embracing your individuality and uniqueness.

I’ll work with you to create a picture of what you would like to achieve from our time together, and I’ll be guided by you, so that we are both moving in the same direction. If you are a couple or a family, we will be working together so that everybody can feel that they have a say in where things are going. I’ll also regularly check in with you to get a sense of how useful therapy is for you. This may change from session to session.

I have an eclectic range of interests within the mental health world. My work with you will draw on techniques and frameworks which are relevant to your reasons for coming to therapy and your therapy goals. These will include psychodynamic psychotherapy, self- and positive psychology, schema therapy, attachment based approaches, mindfulness-based practices, cognitive behaviour therapy and for couples, Gottman Couples Therapy interventions.

I look forward to meeting you and discovering with you, for as long, or as little as you need.
