Using Positive Psychology to help you flourish and thrive
I offer therapeutic support to young female professionals suffering from mild depression and anxiety, low self-esteem and negative body image. I use Positive Psychology to support my therapeutic work and I especially like to work with a strength-based approach. As an accredited Master Strengthscope Practitioner I also deliver strength-based workshops and courses to organisations and have one specifically tailored to support parents.
Hi, I’m Linda
As a qualified Psychotherapist with an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology, I am extremely passionate about using my knowledge and experience, along with the latest research, to support young people on their path to adulthood.
I am from Iceland and graduated with a BSc in Psychology from the University of Iceland but completed most of my earlier education in Jersey, Channel Islands. I am currently based in Jersey and live there with my husband and our two daughters.
I believe well-being is something we all need to work hard at in order to maintain. And in order to best support my clients and provide an effective and powerful service, I have made it my goal to learn as much as I can about the science of well-being and how to best support my clients to reach their full potential.

How I can help
Therapy
I work using a variety of different therapeutic styles that are all solution-focused and person-centred. I support young female professionals to feel more confident in their own skin, I help reduce their anxiety so that they feel more empowered to take on life’s challenges.
In our initial session, we will determine what you would like to achieve in therapy and I will explain how I intend to support you through that process. Our sessions will take place at my office on King Street or online using Zoom.
The main purpose of my practice is to leave you with an improved sense of self-esteem and confidence so that you feel more empowered and confident to move towards the next chapter in your life.
Training
As the only Master Strengthscope Practitioner in Jersey, I deliver strength-based workshops and courses to organisations. This involves providing trainees with a psychometric test that helps them identify their strengths and the things that energise them. There are a variety of packages available, some that focus specifically on Leaders and others for Teams.
I also run a strength-based parenting course called Positive Parenting. This course includes access to the strength-based psychometric test and focuses on teaching parents how to implement a strength-based parenting approach with their children.
