I had the pleasure of working with Linda K Berkeley during our time in Berkshire, NHS. Linda always had the incredible ability to take continuous learning to a new level- always reading and reaching the best methods or approaches in therapy and taking great pains to pass this knowledge on to her colleagues so that many many others could also benefit. A true joy to work with- any client of hers is in good hands!
