Linda Bloom, President, Overcoming MS
Linda Bloom is the President of Overcoming MS and a psychologist specialising in counselling and hypnotherapy.
She is the Founder of the charity and the former Chair. Linda previously held positions at Monash University and the William Angliss Institute of TAFE in Melbourne, Australia, as well as working in private practice.
In 2002, she was diagnosed with MS following a significant relapse. After attending a retreat held by Professor Jelinek in Melbourne, Australia, she followed the Overcoming MS Program and attributes her own healing to this evidence-based approach.
In 2007, Linda moved to the UK where she recognized a gap in the provision of a lifestyle-based approach in MS management, and in 2011 began promoting the Overcoming MS approach. She established the Overcoming MS charity in June 2012.
She is passionate about empowering people with MS to take control of their own lives and hopes that the program will offer people with MS a new, but realistic way of regaining their health and improving their quality of life.
