Linda Zack, BACP, NCPS

Linda Zack is a Gestalt-trained psychotherapeutic counsellor who brings ten years of experience gained through volunteer roles before and after qualification. She is registered in the United Kingdom and holds the credentials BACP and NCPS, indicating professional membership with UK counselling bodies. Her practice emphasises present-moment awareness and practical self-discovery, helping people notice what they are thinking, feeling, and doing as they experience it.

Working in a relaxed and approachable manner, she focuses on building self-awareness, identifying strengths, and strengthening resilience. Her sessions draw on Gestalt principles that support people to recognise and change automatic patterns of thought and behaviour, so they can respond to current challenges more effectively. She combines these therapeutic techniques with coaching-oriented tools to offer fresh perspectives and actionable steps toward feeling better.

Linda has particular experience supporting people through grief and loss, sleep difficulties such as insomnia, stress, anxiety and low mood, and situations where people feel stuck. She also works with issues including addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include sexuality, BDSM and kink culture, communication problems, hearing-impaired clients, midlife transition, life purpose, and Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Linda supports clients in gaining new insight through creative, metaphor-informed techniques and practical guidance so they can begin to make meaningful change.

Present-Moment Gestalt Work and Online Support

Gestalt therapy is a humanistic, awareness-based approach that invites people to focus on their current experience - thoughts, feelings, and actions in the here and now - so they can recognise patterns and develop new ways of responding. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, feeling stuck, and processing life changes.

Therapeutic coaching using Gestalt techniques combines insight work with practical steps and metaphors to help people identify strengths, build resilience, and move toward concrete goals. This approach can be useful for sleep difficulties, grief, relationship challenges, and improving coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with each person to determine whether Gestalt-focused work, coaching-oriented strategies, or a blend of both best matches their needs, goals, and personal preferences.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility needs, or limited local options. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into daily life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to work effectively across remote formats.
