Linda Clark
Integrative counsellorAbout Me
Are you looking for someone who can help you explore issues dominating your life in a non-judgemental and genuine manner? I support clients in making positive changes, building resilience and achieving personal growth. Going to counselling can be daunting: I hope to offer clients a place of safety and compassion, and a therapeutic relationship instilled with warmth, energy and humour.
I tailor my approach to each client’s needs. I’m a person-centred and integrative counsellor meaning I believe you’ve the skills to overcome the challenges you’re facing and I draw on multiple therapeutic approaches to help you tap into these and flourish.
I work with individuals aged 18 and above. I work both face-to-face and online (I have training in this area). I also offer ‘Walk and Talk Therapy’ on Clapham or Wandsworth Common if you prefer to be outdoors during Covid or just like being in nature.
I’ve experience working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, relationship issues, infertility issues, work-related issues, family conflict, parenting, abuse, cultural issues (expats and returning expats), boarding school survivors, self-esteem, emotional unavailability, men’s issues, women’s issues, life-coaching and personal development.
I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life and life stages from students, to stay-at-home parents, to senior managers. I’ve also had a corporate career, worked as a language teacher, held volunteering roles, and raised a family: all of which help me understand my clients.
I‘m British but have lived in six countries across four continents. I grew up speaking English at home and French outside the home. I’m therefore particularly interested in cultural issues, and the difficulties of living outside one’s home country. I speak French and Spanish.
