Linda Quirk

I am an experienced Humanistic Integrative Counsellor with a background in Nursing and HR. As an integrative therapist I work across a range of different therapeutic approaches and I adopt elements from the different approaches to suit each individual client - depending on the client and depending on the issues presented.

I started my counselling career working as an honorary counsellor in a Mental Health Resource Centre in London, (NHS) where I worked for 8 years. The centre offered short-term and long-term therapy to vulnerable adults with a wide range of mental health problems and disorders including; depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, bipolar, schizophrenia, personality disorder, eating disorders, low self-esteem, abuse (physical, emotional and sexual) and addiction (alcohol & drugs).

I started my private Counselling practice in the City of London in 2005, before moving to my current location in North London in 2012. Throughout, my career, I have remained focused on mental health problems and disorders and I am particularly interested in how they impact individuals in the workplace. I also have a special interest in attachment and relationship issues, bereavement and loss and alcohol and drug addiction.

With a lengthy background of working in Human Resources in large professional organisations, I also work with professionals on personal development and work-related issues including, work-related stress and anxiety, depression, bullying, grievance, conflict resolution, redundancy and maximising performance.

My consulting room is in Islington (N1) North London. Nearest tube stations are Angel and Highbury & Islington

Sessions are face to face or online.
