About me

I offer a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly and explore what’s happening in your life. I’m Linda Robinson, an accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I work with adults, young people, and children experiencing anxiety, low mood, self-esteem difficulties, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and flexible. I tailor therapy to each person, drawing from different approaches to support your individual needs. I offer both short-term and longer-term work, online and in person.

I understand that reaching out for support can sometimes feel difficult, so I aim to create a calm and welcoming space where you can feel heard and understood.

I also offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions and see whether working together feels right for you.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

Further information

I believe counselling should feel like a gentle pause in a busy world — a calm space where you can be heard without judgement. I work with warmth and sensitivity, helping you feel supported, understood, and able to explore what matters to you at your own pace.
