About me
Hello, my name is Lina Mookerjee, and welcome to Praxis Therapy. It’s nice to meet you.
I work with people from all walks of life, ages, health states, locations, and cultures who are searching for their purpose, meaning, change, health, and life-wellness. Something prompts a reaching out for help, and I take that step as the beginning of change.
My specialisms include working with clients facing:
- relationship issues
- life transitions: loss of health, relationship, redundancy, mortality
- mid-life and menopause grief
- loss and shame stemming from early life trauma
- identity shame, confusion and displacement stemming from cultural clashes and expectations.
My counselling, polarity, and yoga therapy expertise helps people navigate and negotiate their life changes. The resultant stress can be tough, especially when there is loss, early-life trauma, menopause anger and challenges, grief & end of life process.
My workplace training portfolio (for both public and private sector organisations) includes: effective empathy skills, people dynamics, unconscious bias and menopause awareness.
I am also a critical incident debriefer working with teams at times of workplace crisis.
I am also a social activist on the individual and collective levels, my intention being to increase curiosity, thinking and consideration about life and living complexity. I seek to raise awareness, understanding, and dialogue about issues that can challenge assumptions, prejudice, attempts to minimise, and shame, and, in the process, cause suffering.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’ve been a Consultant Integrative Psychotherapist for over 26 years, working with clients face-to-face and online. My practice approach comes with a pedigree:

- Supervision from 1999 to present
I’m a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and a Senior Accredited Clinical Supervisor (for other therapists), working with individuals and couples face-to-face and online (Using Zoom, Teams, and WhatsApp video and audio).
I am a critical incident de-briefer, on-call to companies whose staff have suffered workplace trauma, where I support their recovery through processing and building stability to reduce the impact & potential for re-traumatisation.
And a human relations psycho-educator (HE, corporate and public sector settings), media expert commentator, researcher and published writer.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I thoroughly enjoy my therapeutic work, and my expertise has been valued by the many 100s of clients I have worked with over the last three decades.
I believe that every human being has the capacity to change. The fundamental determinants come from the conditions that enable the environment to be right for this to happen. I have much a lot of successful experience of making this happen.
I have witnessed the many times that, through processing of life events, a magic can emerge that enables the client to see more clearly and feel their strength enough to make something happen - be it a change of approach, to grieve, or to say 'no'. That agency can be so powerful for a person's capacity to have some semblance to affect their life.
