About Holly
She has worked in the NHS and in charity services, supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions and the effects of childhood trauma. That background includes many hours counselling adults affected by sexual and physical abuse and by bereavement after suicide. Holly also brings experience from a long corporate career, which she says helps her relate to workplace stress and life transitions.
In sessions she focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way of day-to-day life. She uses a straightforward style and listens closely before suggesting ways to try things differently. Work may include developing new routines, practising simple coping skills, and looking at patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. Clients are encouraged to set small, realistic goals. The counsellor offers empathy and steady support while people test out new ways of thinking and acting.
Holly works with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She accepts international clients and runs a private practice while continuing charity work supporting bereaved people.

Approaches that shape online work
Holly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to guide her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and habit change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own experience, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to support personal insight and decision-making.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Holly will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the focus as progress is made. That collaborative stance helps people try different strategies and notice what helps most.
The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example a shorter check-in can work during a lunch break, or a conversation by phone can be used when bandwidth is limited. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to maintain continuity while juggling work, family or caregiving responsibilities.
