Linda | Holistic Coach, Bsc Applied Psychology

I reached out to Linda to get help in overcoming negative thoughts and manage areas of life that had become overwhelming. I found Linda listened to me explain the different areas I found challenging and showed me how to break things down to a manageable level. She gave me strategies that I was able to put into practice as well as how to turn negative thoughts into positive ones. By setting little goals, I became aware of / recognise triggers that I learned to interrupt early and avoid it spiralling out of control. This helped me change my mindset and also see things from a different perspective. We also worked on other ways to communicate to understand how to be more effective with both my partner and children. Linda provided various diagrams / tools that helped me understand where I was at and why. The strategies you provided continue to be very useful in my everyday life.
This experience has taught me not to take things so personally, to dedicate some self-care time as well as be kinder to myself.
I found Linda to be extremely thoughtful, empathetic, & caring to my situation, which is what I needed and made it easier to talk / trust her.
I would definitely recommend Linda to anyone that needs help how to manage a life that has become too hard and overwhelming.
Thanks, Linda!

I came to counselling because I wanted to improve my physical health and self-esteem. Linda gave me lots of practical advice about things I could do to address my issues, and always in a gentle, supportive judgement-free way. I always felt comfortable talking about difficult emotions I was having and knew I would get useful information to help change my thought patterns and behaviours to healthier ones. 

I am now much kinder to myself which feels so much better. I like myself much more than I did before, and I don’t have negative self-talk as much. I have healthier eating habits and a more positive relationship with my body and with exercise. I feel well-equipped to continue working on these issues independently and I know I can contact Linda any time if that changes. Thank you for helping me so much!

I came to counselling after a family member expressed concern for my mental well-being. At the time, I didn't fully recognize the extent of my struggles, but deep down, I knew I wanted to be a happier person. Through counselling, I've become more aware of my regressive behaviour and the root causes behind it. Additionally, I've learned effective strategies for shifting negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones, which has led to positive behavior changes. I've also developed the ability to avoid dwelling on negative thoughts, which has been a positive change for me. This experience has shown me that sometimes we may not fully recognize our own mental state and the help that we need.

I sought help for my 14-year-old daughter S. because she felt often sad, lonely and lacked self-confidence. 


Linda took her time to really get to know my daughter well. Linda had a lot of empathy and took her issues seriously. Linda spoke openly about having gone through similar issues as a teen which was very very helpful. 

My daughter was not keen on starting therapy but Linda was able to keep her interested and engaged for 3 months.

My daughter has gained a lot from the sessions. She is a lot more open to her (new) friendships. She now has the tools to approach new people and be less shy. She is much happier and has gained a lot of self-confidence!

Many thanks for your help!

I wanted help with my depression, and be able to identify and bring myself out of those low points/spirals; any conflicting feelings I had about my relationship with my dad and overcome any guilt that I harboured around it; be a better friend and girlfriend - be more tolerant and understanding instead of getting so caught up on the things that bothered me.

I can identify pretty well when I’m in a low mood spiral from my depression (and not just generally feeling sad) and have strategies that can help lessen their effect.

I can deal with bigger life changes in a much healthier way.

I am far more patient with my friends and family. I can recognize when I’m internalising my worries and letting them manifest badly towards others. Instead of allowing that to happen, I can stop and reflect and figure out what I need to do to move past these worries or make them less impactful.

I can also tell when I’m being kind to myself and when I’m just trying to make excuses and avoid doing something I know I should do/ pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

Counselling has helped me be more open with my close friends about things I’ve always been too afraid to burden them with in the past, and in turn, they can be more open with me about similar things.

As cliché as it sounds I wish I had found Linda sooner because she really made an immensely positive impact on my life, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and the effort she puts into making each session valuable!
