Linda does not believe that one theoretical approach is best for all clients, psychological difficulties, and circumstances. She prefers to formulate an individualized counselling treatment plan in conjunction with client preferences, expectations, and consent. She is respectful of individual differences and appreciates diversity. She has a special interest in BME, International, and Gender issues, and advocates for equality and human rights. Her other areas of specialized interest include people who have been subjected to undue influence in abusive relationships or groups (including cults), trauma (including sexual trauma), eating disorders, addictions, anxiety, and depression. She is interested in the application of IT technology to counselling.

Linda's approach to counselling focuses on how people change and enhancing motivation toward meeting personal goals. She believes that changes occur in stages, at different levels, and through various processes, and she tailors counselling interventions accordingly. She believes that the counselling relationship is integral to helping clients to grow. Linda has felt inspired by her clients' resilience and abilities to overcome many extremely difficult experiences and relationships.
