About me
During the current corona virus crisis, I will be offering Skype or Zoom therapy. BUPA have agreed to pay for this - therapy online in the comfort of your own home.
Choosing the therapist who is right for you is not easy and I hope the information here will help you make this important decision. After all, your
therapist will begin with you as a complete stranger and you are preparing to tell them not just your story, but share intimate details about your life.
My name is Linda K. Berkeley and I am an Anglo-American CBT therapist. I work with people from all backgrounds and ethnicities and have experience in working with people on the autistic spectrum, those with learning difficulties, substance misusers, transgendered people, and long-term health conditions. I can offer short or longer-term work and online therapy.
I am told I am easily approachable, with a ready smile, an optimistic viewpoint, and an enthusiasm for life.When we meet, we will spend the first session discussing any questions you may have about therapy, how I work, what
brought you to see me, and what you think is going to be helpful to you.
You are the expert on yourself an only you can decide what might work for you. We will form a plan together, perhaps over the course of two to three sessions, of how we can proceed, and what we collaboratively believe is going on for you.
You will find my practice is based on a humanistic, integrative, pluralistic blending of possibilities from several frameworks, including CBT, Gestalt, Compassion Focused Therapy, ideas from psychodynamic practice, with a person-centred, humanistic core.
