Healing is not about becoming someone else. It is about coming home to yourself.
Linda Bishopp is a holistic psychotherapist, healer, intuitive coach and supervisor. Her work brings together psychotherapy, trauma-informed practice, Jungian psychology and spiritual exploration, in a safe space to explore who you are and who you are becoming.
A safe space to explore who you are
There are times in life when we know that something needs to change, but we don’t quite know what. Perhaps you are struggling with trauma, loss, difficult relationships or patterns that seem impossible to break. Or perhaps something within you is quietly asking: is there more to life than this?

Spirituality at the heart of the work
Spirituality does not mean following a religion. It is about our relationship with something deeper: with ourselves, with others, with nature, and perhaps with something greater than ourselves. You don’t have to be religious, and you don’t have to believe what I believe. Guides, intuition, Reiki and dream work are only ever introduced if you are open to them. You are always free to say yes, no, or “I’d like to understand more first.”
I see adults face-to-face (Capel-Le-Ferne, Kent) and on Zoom.
I cover Folkestone, Hythe, Dover, Deal, Sandwich, Ashford, Canterbury, Faversham and surrounding areas for face to face clients. You can also work with me from anywhere via Zoom online.
If you would like to arrange a session, we can arrange an initial chat on Zoom.
Please call me on 07905 038378 to arrange this and we can decide then if we are happy to work together.

I use a combination of the following to create the right support unique to your needs:
Psychotherapy and Counselling
Jungian psychotherapy is not just looking at the alleviation or eradication of symptoms, although this does occur as part of the process.
It also seeks to hear their messages, which usually points to a deeper matter that needs one’s attention. It might point to a lack of spiritual orientation, a search for meaning in life or a failure to develop one’s creative potential.
Soul-Work (Intuitive Coaching)
A Soul Work Session flows according to your need. We start with you and where you are. Linda uses her heart-felt self to sense you and to be with you and to allow you to discover this in yourself.
We may talk, do healing, meditative and reflective practice, dream work, mandala work, and intuitive work; all to understand the symbolic nature of soul communication.
Spiritual Healing and Reiki
‘What I have discovered is that the most powerful healing force in the universe is love, unconditional love. When you work from that level you begin to open up whole vistas of discovery in self-exploration and spiritual transformation. You begin a new level of healing, not just fixing the body, but helping the individual to grow to a whole new understanding of their life and their awareness as a evolving spiritual being.’ Richard Gerber interview (author of Vibrational Medicine).
Dream Analysis
Dreams can be a useful way to gain understanding about what is going on in our lives. Dreams offer insight into ourselves that we may otherwise be unaware of, or not have in clear perspective.
They often seem obscure and incomprehensible, however, with support from your therapist, much deep meaning and understanding about our true self, desires and needs can be discovered.
‘Since therapy, I have, with Linda’s invaluable help understood how to save myself. She has taught me methods to use to understand about negative feelings and their impact. I can use those to great effect.’
I can support your recovery of the following:
Abuse
Recognising that you are being or have been abused sometimes is difficult, or at least, hard to admit to yourself, especially if by someone who was supposed to love you…
Anger
Anger is a normal response; a tool for survival. It can be powerful and a force to achieve if you are able to use it in a controlled and calm way…
Bereavement and Loss
It is hard to come to terms with the loss of a loved one.
There can be so much change in our life when someone close to you dies…
Trauma
I specialise in working with people who are traumatised, though many may not even recognise that they are. I believe that many of us experience trauma(s) when young, even what may seem to be quite minor traumas, that affect us.
Depression
When we feel depressed we can feel no interest or pleasure, have feelings of guilt or low self-worth, hopelessness, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, poor concentration, and find that we don’t enjoy the things that we used to…
Anxiety
To feel nervous and mildly anxious about certain things in life is normal. But sometimes this can get out of control and we can begin to feel overly anxious and stressed about normal life events or even have trouble leaving our home. There are techniques we can learn to help ease this, and over time, to feel more in control.
