About Holly
Holly Brick has worked in mental health for ten years. She practices as a counsellor and cognitive behavioural therapist and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression or career uncertainty. Her approach is down to earth and action‑oriented, aimed at getting small changes that make daily life easier.
She began her career in a mix of settings, including the personal sector, community and voluntary services, and NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services.
How Holly works
That variety means she is used to different ways people seek help and different life situations they bring into sessions. Holly uses cognitive behavioural therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going and to test new ways of responding. She also draws on client‑centred principles to listen and respond to what matters most to each person.
Solution‑focused techniques help set clear, short‑term goals and build practical steps toward them. Sessions are practical and collaborative. People can expect to work on specific strategies between meetings as well as talk through what is happening now.
Holly explains techniques in simple terms and tailors them to a person’s day to day life. This style can suit people who want both understanding and action. It is useful for panic and panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, and for managing stress at work or at home.
Holly offers sessions in English and works with the needs each person brings to therapy.

How Holly's approaches translate to online therapy
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a non‑judgemental space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT is hands‑on and aims to change patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going; it is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, achievable goals and building steps toward them, which can speed up progress in a few sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Holly will talk with each person about their goals, what has or hasn't helped before, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as the work progresses so steps remain realistic and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face to face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to check in between meetings or to have a written record of ideas. These options help people access therapy more flexibly and fit it around work, family and daily life.
