About Holly
Holly Larsen helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes. She writes simply and listens closely. Holly aims to make conversations feel straightforward and non-judgemental so people can talk about what matters most to them.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Holly encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than abstract tasks.
How Holly works
Holly has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. That background has included supporting people with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and a wide range of relationship and family concerns. She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar, body image and parenting strain.
People come to her for help with low self-esteem, anger, sleeping or eating difficulties, and coping after separation. She also supports those facing career stress, caregiver strain and compassion fatigue. Conversations cover both current problems and longer standing patterns like attachment or abandonment worries.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged to suit different needs. Holly accepts international clients and uses online formats to reach people who need a flexible approach. To begin, a simple matching process helps connect someone to her and arrange a first appointment.

How Holly’s Client-Centred Work Fits Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person lead the pace of change. This approach suits concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship struggles where feeling understood is key.In practice, Holly keeps sessions simple and collaborative. She will talk with the client about what they want from therapy and try different ways of working until they find a good fit. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process based on needs, goals and what feels comfortable for the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or a quieter audio-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or for a shorter, written-focused exchange. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still getting regular professional support.
