Welcome to
Take Time to Talk Counselling
Linda Meikle
MBACP Accredited
Counsellor and
Psychotherapist
When times are challenging and you feel the need of some support and guidance, counselling can be very beneficial and help you to restore a balance in your life.
"Take Time to Talk"
I hope this website will provide an understanding of what to expect from my counselling process and how therapy sessions can help you.
As a humanistic, integrative counsellor I can share this experience with you and help you to find new ways of looking at things, making them easier to deal with.
What is Counselling?
Counselling is a talking therapy, in person or online, allowing you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. This will enable you to find fulfilment in your life, making you feel empowered and in control.
Each one of us has the capacity to achieve this within ourselves.
Counselling sessions
Counselling sessions take place in a private, safe, comfortable and welcoming space where all information is treated in the strictest confidence.
I offer individual long term and short term counselling-face to face, by telephone or online. The therapy sessions will be arranged at times that are most convenient to you.
How can I help you?
There can be a variety of reasons why you may feel that you need support and guidance to achieve a balance in your life. You may feel:
- anxious and worried
- nervous and lack the confidence to do what you want
- alone, angry or confused
- that relationships with other people are challenging.
- your life lacks direction and purpose
- that it is difficult to cope with a current crisis
- as though you are struggling to deal with painful events.
Counselling can help you to:
- Understand your own feelings and emotions.
- Alter your pattern of relating and communicating with other people.
- Increase your confidence and self-esteem.
- Make changes in your life that you feel you need to make.
Working with me will be transformative and sometimes challenging. We will discover new perspectives and a deeper understanding of the issues that concern you.

Testimonials
I cannot speak highly enough of Linda, my counsellor, who really helped me with her caring, non-judgemental support. My feelings and experiences were always acknowledged by her, which meant a great deal to me . My time with Linda has been invaluable. I have made such progress in my self esteem and how I deal with my problems.
I have really enjoyed my therapy sessions with Linda at an especially challenging time. She has helped me to gain an understanding of and find a way to deal with some serious issues that I had previously been unable to untangle. I am amazed at how much better I am feeling. This has been such a relief for me. I feel I can now get on with my life.
I met with Linda for about three months and she was such a massive help to me as I grappled with issues from my childhood, low self-esteem and difficulties arising from my university course. Linda's compassionate and non-judgemental approach put me at my ease and helped us to build a trusting and beneficial working relationship. Thank you, Linda, for all your help. I would wholeheartedly recommend Linda as a counsellor.
