Meet Linda Bignell

Hello, I’m Linda – a psychodynamic counsellor and relational therapist, offering face-to-face and online therapy to adults across Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent, and South-East London.

​

I work with individuals over 18 who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or facing big life decisions – whether in relationships, careers, or being stuck with something. 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.

​

How Therapy with Me Can Help

​

I have experience and specialise in helping clients:

• Heal from trauma and adverse childhood events - ACES

• Navigate relationship difficulties and patterns of attachment

• Build self-esteem and confidence

• Provide Grief and Trauma Counselling

• Understand and shift unhelpful behavioural patterns

• Work through life transitions, domestic abuse, and emotional overwhelm

• Explore identity, including gender, relational style, and personal boundaries

​​

Clients often say, it was easy to talk to me, they felt heard, supported, and encouraged to grow in a way that helped them feel happier and more in control.

​

My Approach to Counselling

​

My approach is warm, non-judgemental and insight-driven, helping you understand how past experiences may be impacting your life today – and more importantly, what you can do to move forward.

​

As a psychodynamic relational therapist, what happens in counselling is to help you connect past experiences with present-day struggles – not to stay stuck in the past, but to understand how it influences your current relationships, emotions, and decisions.

​

You’ll always be met with empathy, sincerity, and deep respect for your unique journey. While we can't change the past, we can absolutely change what happens next.

​

I work in a way that is inclusive, affirming and sensitive to diverse experiences and identities. I bring my own life experiences into the work to meet you with genuine understanding, warmth, and humanity.

​

Where I Work – In Person and Online Counselling in West Malling

​

I offer face to face therapy from our counsellors office in Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent and Online across London and the UK

Sessions are private and confidential, whether in person or online. You’ll have the space to speak freely, ask questions, and take your time.

​

Is Therapy Right for You?

​

Maybe you are wondering which therapy is best for me and when to get therapy. You may be looking for the best psychotherapist and you are not sure about what’s wrong, but you know something doesn’t feel right. Working with me offers you the chance to pause, reflect, and heal – with someone by your side who gets it.

​

If you’re curious about therapy or wondering if we’re a good fit, I invite you to get in touch. Let’s arrange a free initial consultation where you can ask questions and find out more.

​

You deserve to feel good about your life, your choices, and yourself. Change is possible, and you don’t have to go it alone.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP Member Number 1009201). For you, knowing this confirms I have undertaken robust training and am suitably qualified to work as a therapist and Helping You Find Clarity, Confidence, and Change.
