Linda Bignell BA (Hons) Counselling & Psychotherapy
Integrative Psychodynamic Counsellor and Relational Therapist
I am an integrative psychodynamic counsellor and relational therapist working with individuals and couples aged 18 and over who may be feeling overwhelmed, facing significant life decisions, experiencing relationship or career difficulties, or feeling stuck with something they want to understand or change.
Many of the people I support are carrying the weight of past trauma, adverse childhood experiences, or challenging relationships, and are ready to explore what’s holding them back in a safe, compassionate space.
I offer face-to-face therapy in the following locations:
-
Westcroft Leisure Centre, Westcroft Road, Carshalton
-
Oru Space, Sutton
-
Church Street, Reigate, Surrey
-
Online across Surrey, London and the UK
Guiding Change, Building Confidence
In-Person and Online Sessions Available
My approach is to work with you to understand what has happened, how it may be affecting you now, why you feel the way you do, and what you would like to change. I tailor therapy to you as an individual, because everyone’s experiences are different. Together, we can explore what may have become buried beneath childhood trauma, shame or difficult past experiences, and help you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside.
If you’d like to explore how things could change, please get in touch to arrange a free consultation. My aim is to offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about your experiences and begin working towards the changes that matter to you.
What Counselling Does
From my own life experiences, I know that things do not always go as planned. That understanding helps me bring empathy, openness and compassion to the way I work with you.
Counselling can help you make sense of what is happening in your life, understand the patterns or difficulties you may be experiencing, and explore what you would like to manage, change or approach differently.
A strong therapeutic relationship is an important part of counselling. I aim to build that relationship by offering a confidential, honest, respectful and non-judgemental space where you can feel able to talk openly about what is happening for you.
My Approach To Counselling
My approach is non-judgemental and insight-driven, helping you understand how past experiences may be affecting your life today and, importantly, what you can do to move forward.
As an integrative psychodynamic therapist, I help you explore how past experiences may connect with present-day struggles. The aim is not to stay focused on the past, but to understand how it may be influencing your relationships, emotions and decisions now.
