About Linda
Linda Austin is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with concerns such as anger, stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, addiction, trauma and grief. Linda offers straightforward, practical support and direct feedback when it is helpful.
She has experience in criminal justice, domestic abuse services, and drug and alcohol support, and has run behaviour change interventions. That background means she is used to addressing strong feelings, communication breakdowns, and issues that affect daily life at work and home.
Linda practices in a way that centres the client. She uses Client-Centred ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques. Sessions can include clear guidance, practical tools, and honest reflection. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when clients want short-term goals.
Her style is plain and direct. She listens without judgement and invites collaboration about goals and methods. She may share relevant lived experience when it helps keep the conversation real and useful.
People come to her for help with anger that shows up at work or at home, for coping with life changes, and for support with addiction, depression or low self-esteem. She also supports issues such as attachment, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and communication problems. If you want to try therapy, the first steps are a short questionnaire and booking an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anger, anxiety and life changes where someone wants a clearer direction. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps people feel heard and decide what matters to change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions such as anger or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods to try based on your goals and preferences. She combines practical tools, direct feedback and goal-focused exercises so the plan fits what you need right now.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit into work days, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Discussing how often to meet and what to focus on can help sessions slot into everyday life while keeping the work focused on managing anger and related issues.
