About Linda
Linda Zack is a Gestalt psychotherapeutic counsellor with ten years of experience working in the UK. She presents a relaxed and friendly style in sessions and aims to help people notice how they are being and doing in the present moment. Her work emphasises self-awareness, practical coping, and building on existing strengths and resources.
Linda uses Gestalt principles to encourage people to notice thoughts, feelings and behaviours as they happen.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping clients undo automatic patterns and develop new ways of responding to stress, low mood and anxiety. Sessions aim to be grounded in the here and now rather than dwelling on the past. She has worked with people who are coping with grief and loss and has specific experience supporting those with sleep difficulties, including insomnia.
Her approach is also used with concerns such as stress, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties and feeling stuck in life. Linda describes her counselling as supportive, caring and creative, and she makes space for dialogue and honest exploration. She offers therapeutic coaching alongside counselling to help people gain fresh perspectives and practical next steps.
Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom. Linda’s registrations include BACP and NCPS, and she draws on her ten years of volunteer and post-qualifying work to inform a grounded, person-focused practice.

How Gestalt work and online counselling fit together
Gestalt counselling focuses on noticing what is happening in the present moment. It helps people become aware of their immediate thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations so they can recognise automatic habits and try different ways of responding. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and situations where someone feels stuck.She also uses pragmatic coaching techniques that aim to create new perspectives and quick practical steps. Those methods help people clarify priorities, identify strengths and plan small actions to improve sleep, daily routines or coping with loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which techniques suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt the mix of Gestalt and coaching as sessions progress.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also make shorter check-ins or quieter, low-bandwidth options easier to arrange depending on practical needs.
