More about Holly

- BACP
I am a qualified therapist/counsellor based in the United Kingdom with over a decade of working with individuals with diverse needs. I hold a counselling degree as well as a BSc in Psychology. I work with clients across the world and enjoy making a difference. My background includes extensive work with children and young people (CYP), as well as supporting adults of all ages with severe and complex mental health challenges. Alongside my counselling practice, I run a CYP service for Mind, providing counselling to children and adolescents, and work as an adult mental health recovery worker, helping individuals through their mental health journeys.
My experience spans working with individuals facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, confidence issues, family conflicts, and significant life changes. I also have specialised experience in supporting LGBTQ+ clients and those managing the challenges of neurodiversity, trauma, and social-emotional difficulties. My educational background is rooted in psychology and counselling, and I continue to expand my expertise through ongoing professional development to provide the most effective support for my clients.
I take a person-centred approach to therapy, meaning I adapt my work to suit your unique needs and goals. I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that you possess the strengths and resilience needed to overcome life’s challenges. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
Seeking support is a big step, and I am here to walk alongside you in that journey. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, or even going through major transitions, I can offer a space where you feel truly understood. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and work towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
I look forward to supporting you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
