Our Approach

Linda's approach to therapy is warm, open, and honest. She works to create a space where young people can be themselves without judgement, even if they’re not sure who they are yet. She works from a strengths-based framework, using an eclectic approach drawing from evidence-based techniques including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), family therapy techniques, and play-based therapy, adapting them to the needs of whoever is in the room including parents/carers. She works using a family framework, and believes that change for young people is based within their family, and that have the best chance at therapeutic change if their family system supports and enacts this change. Sometimes this may mean that the family is involved in some therapy sessions with the young person - and sometimes it may mean that Linda recommends some parent-only sessions.

Linda believes that a supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship is the key to creating positive change that can ripple throughout a young person’s life.

Who do we see?

Linda sees children, teenagers (up to 18), and parents/carers who would like parenting support.

Who is in the room for each session will depend on why you're coming to therapy. As Linda works with the young person within their family system, parents/carers will be involved in therapy to some degree. Generally, the younger the child, the more involved the parents are in sessions. Linda will discuss this openly with you and ensure it suits your needs.
