Linda can help clients who are struggling due to:
Linda uses elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy and mixes these approaches with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Practices, and Mindfulness-based Therapy in counselling. She uses this holistic approach to therapy to explore the multiple interactions between the emotional, physical, psychological, social, and cultural well-being of her clients. This helps her clients develop a greater understanding of their concerns and assists them with beginning to take steps towards thriving in their relationships and in their lives.
