Linda Connell

I offer counselling Monday through Friday at 9:30, 11:00, 12:30, 2:00, 3;30, 5:00 and 6:30.

I have been trained as a psychodynamic therapist. I take into consideration a person's experience in their formative years as a source of clues to what they may be wrestling with as they search for possible answers to why they approach life and relationships as they do and discuss how they want to use that discussion to help themselves. 

My practice includes clients from age 18 onward. Topics vary according to the needs of the client. I offer an opportunity for a client to be heard rather than be instructed. I ask questions which encourage the client to talk about whatever is on their mind and to clarify what they are talking about. I offer interpretations of what the client is talkng about in order to help with clarification and facilitate the client to think about their relationships and what they want to keep or change and why doing one or the other is a struggle.

One area I have special treaining in is the emotional transition to parenthood experienced by both expectant and new mothers and fathers. I do not offer medical advice. I facilitate expectant and new parents to talk about their experiences and feelings about this as they go through the process of childbirth and early parenthood.     

New clients may contact me by phone, at 01798 831 990, or email, at lindagconnell47@gmail.com  to arrange a first session and either receive a Zoom-link or directions to come to my house for face-to-face counselling. I encourage clients to bring their diaries in order to arrange subsequent sessions.
