Linda Shedden

 I am a Humanistic, Person Centred Counsellor using an Integrative approach, which means that my practice is influenced by a collection of approaches. Using techniques from CBT, Humanistic, Psychodynamic therapy means that I can tailor your counselling sessions to suit you. No two people experience the same event in the same way.

I understand that we can all encounter times when life feels particularly hard.

There’s a constant inner voice of doubt, of not being “enough."

I am warm, open and genuine. I have the strength, courage and empathy to be with you. Offering a safe, confidential and accepting space while you explore your feelings and experiences that have shaped your life. I have experience in working with a range of clients both long and short term and can work with a range of presenting issues.

" Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate" ~ Carl Jung

I have also worked alongside a number of charities in and around Cambridgeshire including, Open Door. My experience also includes working as a Cruse Bereavement volunteer.

Counselling Sessions

I am able to offer counselling appointments face to face, online Zoom or by telephone. Which means that I have clients from further afield, as well as face to face sessions in Cambridge and Ely. Counselling sessions are offered at a mutually agreed day and time on a regular weekly basis, they last for 50 minutes.

I can offer either focused short term work, normally 6-8 sessions. Or open-ended work, you can decide what suits you best.

 I provide a safe and confidential space to explore together and to find a positive way forward.

It can sometimes feel daunting choosing a counsellor therefore,  I offer a free introductory call of 15 minutes so we can see if the way i work will suit you at this time.

It's also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.

Your first session, this will take place either face to face, by telephone or online. 

 There is never any pressure to continue counselling with me, I would strongly urge you to find the right therapist for you. It’s important that you are able to trust and find that therapeutic space with your counsellor. If you decide to continue, then we can schedule a date and time each week to meet, your sessions will last for 50 minutes.

I offer counselling either short term or long term, as counselling is personal and one size does not fit all, we can review while we are working together and see what suits you best. As a registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ I am committed to working by the principles and values set out in their ethical framework. All sessions are confidential.
