About Linda

Three decades of compassion, insight & care

Linda Allen is a therapist with a comprehensive skill set, having worked with people from all walks of life for over 30 years. Much of her work has been in personal development and adult education, and she was a tutor with the ETB (Education Training Board) for over 10 years — supporting adults to build confidence, resilience and self-awareness through one-to-one counselling, workshops and speaking engagements.

“My sustained passion for personal development and personal empowerment has supported my diverse work in the areas of child protection, adult education, group facilitation and one-to-one sessions over the past years. It has been the foundational structure on how I have replenished my spirit in the face of adversity.”

Linda has also worked in Child Protection for Tusla (Child and Family Agency), supporting children in the care of the State and delivering staff training in stress management. She is trained as a Family Mediator, and her facilitation experience in challenging circumstances makes her a competent and successful mediator. She comes from a person-centred, needs-based perspective — a natural empathiser and intuitive counsellor with the capacity to hear what is being said beneath the words.

See You In Two Minutes, Ma! by Linda Allen
Linda's Book

See You In Two Minutes, Ma!

"A powerful and moving testimony to an unbearable grief." — Paula Meehan

Published in 2016 and launched in Dublin by mental-health activist Niall Breslin, Linda's memoir was born out of the tragic death of her teenage son by suicide. It is an inspiring and uplifting account of renewal and restoration after tragedy — raw, honest and ultimately hopeful — and it brings an undeniable authenticity to her work supporting others. The book and an interview with Linda were also featured on RTÉ's Nationwide.

What people say about Linda

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and special ceremony. With Linda's warmth, kindness and sincerity it was hard to hold back the tears — it honestly turned out to be my favourite part of the day.
Dearbhla & Royston Wedding · Kildare
It is the personal qualities of empathy, warmth, openness and compassion, along with her professional dedication to quality, that make Linda truly exceptional.
Marypat Moloney Founder, Croí Anú Creative Centre
I first met Linda in her mindfulness class — that was the start of my life changing. Booking 1:1 counselling was life-changing. I cannot recommend her enough. It’s hard at times but so worth it for the peace you gain.
Caroline N. Kildare · Counselling
Ms. Allen presented on the physiology of stress, antidotes to stress and mindfulness. The session was extremely well attended across our seventy sites. Feedback from attendees was excellent. City of Dublin ETB would look forward to engaging with Linda in the future.
Kay Cullinan City of Dublin ETB
Linda's training incorporated mindfulness and how to manage our own distress after difficult calls. The team found it hugely beneficial — we've since had her back for stress resilience.
