About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a UK-based counsellor with six years of practice experience. Holly works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and eating concerns. They aim to treat each person with respect and sensitivity from the first conversation.
Holly spends time between a independent practice and running counselling departments in schools. This mix means they bring both one-to-one counselling experience and knowledge of organisational settings to sessions. Holly has supported people dealing with self-harm, motivation struggles, low self-esteem and the fallout of trauma and loss.
How Holly works
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a fixed template. Holly combines client-centred listening with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches. They also draw on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat over time.
Holly is comfortable discussing sexuality, gender dysphoria and alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink. They also work with issues such as addictions, body image, chronic illness, grief and parenting strains. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental style and practical steps to try between sessions. Holly will work collaboratively to set goals and check progress over time. If someone wants a mix of talking work and structured techniques, Holly adapts the approach to fit their needs.

How Holly uses talking therapies online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and explore their priorities at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean steady listening at first, then adding CBT skills or mindfulness practices as needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their life. Video allows face-to-face conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging suits brief check-ins and written reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or caregiving commitments and to keep regular contact between sessions.
