Linda Barbour - Stowmarket

Sean McLaughlan

I cannot recommend Linda enough! I've worked with Linda a few times since meeting her by chance back in 2011 at a yoga class. We got talking, and Linda is truly a wonderful person to speak with, making me feel instantly at ease in her company. We have worked through several different periods when I have been struggling with particularly difficult times in my life. These touched on varying subjects, and Linda adapted to my needs with her approaches. Her extensive experience is evident as we discussed ways to navigate life's events, and really challenged me to look at myself in new ways. As someone who likes to think they're fairly intelligent and self-aware, I thought I could perhaps cope on my own, but I found that it was braver to ask for help. Linda gave me the support I needed, and the service Linda provided was life-changing and life-saving. I don't know quite where I would be without her.

Everyone should have this experience at least once in their life.
An event happened in my life that I struggled to cope with (we've all been there!)and I reached out to Linda , her friendly, warm comfortable approach welcomes you and calms you instantly.
We laughed, I cried my way though and only after 4 sessions I felt ready to manage alone .
If you're wanting someone to just listen without judgement and help you understand and manage your feelings then Linda is the one for you.
Highly recommended

I finally admitted to myself I needed counselling and chose Linda. After just 2 or 3 sessions and having to rearrange another appointment due to a few issues in my pregnancy I can’t help but feel I got dropped without explanation. No email back after trying to rearrange, nothing… I’m disappointed as these things take you way out of your comfort zone as it is and I really needed help. Now I can’t help but feel my problems are way too complicated which feels even worse

Linda has helped me process a lifetime of hurt. I now see life in such a bright, different light. I now have confidence in myself and who I am, improving not only my personal life but my work life too. I had zero confidence, always wanting to blend into the wallpaper out of sight through fear and anxiety. Linda has helped me understand the why's and what's that held me in such a fearful place, how to process these and how to cope with any triggers I may have. Linda has an amazing gift in securing a better life and future for women, taking the chains off to reach a happier place. I didn't know just how much I needed her help, advice, and guidance until I met her. Linda has years of experience in this field and so understanding of the difficulties women have endured, whether that has been short term or for most of their lives. I cannot recommend Linda highly enough to any woman who has had a difficult relationship from parents to partners to gain confidence and strength to start living the life you deserve. Thank you just doesn't feel strong enough for the positive changes Linda has made not only in my life but so many others too.

Working with Linda has proved to be life changing. I placed my trust in Linda who held me emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually until I could begin to trust myself.

Prior to working with Linda I Felt completely and utterly stuck, in deeply painful, and reoccurring cycles of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Linda has empowered me to heal at great depth spiritually, emotionally and psychologically. She consistently demonstrates a SAFE, grounding, comforting presence. Yet also has a profound ability to intuitively challenge me in a way that I can actually hear without shutting down. Thus, enabling me to process my feelings and grow through and beyond my triggers and fears.

As a result of Linda’s help my confidence continues to grow tremendously. I continue to thrive, feel so much lighter and enjoy life once more. I trusted Linda with my life and it paid off. I trust Linda immensely on every level possible.

Linda is adept at getting you to think through your own issues. She is empathetic and not judgemental. She challenges you, in a good way.

What an amazing talent Linda has for calmly identifying and helping people with their problems. She knows just what to do to help move peoples lives forward. Having had the privilege to work with Linda, I've benefitted from her help and have also witnessed first hand, someone openly thanking her for turning their life round. Thank you Linda, wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.

I completed a coaching course with Linda and she has quite literally enabled me to make some simple changes which have had a huge impact on my personal and business life. Since working with her I am sleeping better, getting to sleep more easily, my energy and focus is concentrated on moving forward rather than going round in circles on the same issue which kept coming up.

Linda has restored my faith in myself and my decisions she has allowed me to allow myself to be me rather than fitting into other people's needs. I have always thought of myself as strong and resilient but there were recurring issues which I could not shake off that were quite literally weighing me down. linda has enabled me to break that cyclical experience and stand very firmly in my own skin.

The other aspect was that working with linda who was at all times extremely honest which challenged me in a very good way. Hearing from a completely different perspective meant I could accept what she said rather than thinking ' oh she doesn't really mean that' or 'they are just saying that' as I would with friends it really opened my eyes to the reality of the situation.

Linda's time is priceless gave me a such a real turnaround on situations which I thought were inescapable and never ending. I honestly will never ever go back to where I was before with Linda's help she was there 24/7 as and when I needed an extra boost and I will never be able to thank her enough for what she has done for me. Linda is a through and through professional with a massive heart and real genuine honesty. I wholeheartedly urge anyone going through a tricky time or with ongoing issues to see and speak to Linda to see what may be possible !!
