About
Linda McConnachie has a BSc (hons) Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is currently working towards a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Supervision. She is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and is on the Accredited Voluntary Register (set up by the Department of Health which recognises high standards have been met as set by the Professional Standards Authority).
Linda works with adults, including couples and with children and young people, including those who have complex backgrounds. She has a special interest in working with the effects of Little-t Trauma. These might be described as the events which exceed our capacity to cope, ie neglect, bullying, abuse, divorce, job loss or abrupt changes in our environment. She also has 30 years experience in the corporate business sector coaching and managing teams and has a real understanding of the associated stresses and strains which can thrive in that environment. Research proves that the relationship you build with your therapist is the most important factor in the success of your therapy. Linda uses her understanding of the therapeutic process and theories, her skills and knowledge about relationship dynamics and her ability to tune into your experience to build a therapeutic relationship which is genuine, empathic and supportive. |
Why Therapy?
Lasting change is possible and Linda is passionate about supporting others to improve their own life experience and bring about lasting, positive change. To achieve this, she works in an integrative and relational way and focuses on building a relationship with you where you feel able to talk through the issues affecting you and make sense of how they are contributing to how you're feeling here and now. In addition to the traditional talking therapies, there's the opportunity for you to work creatively with a variety of mindfulness, play, art, role-play, imagery and symbols where you choose to do that. Where children and young people are involved, Linda believes in the importance of working collaboratively with those who surround the child and believes this approach is important in bringing about lasting change. |
