About Holly
Holly Uhlich is an AASW social worker with more than 15 years of professional experience. She combines social work and holistic counselling to help people increase self-awareness and make meaningful changes. Holly uses a gentle, respectful approach that aims to make therapy feel approachable and constructive.
She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, and coping with life changes. Holly also helps people facing abandonment or attachment difficulties, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and challenges with communication and control.
How Holly works
She supports those dealing with divorce, guilt and shame, isolation, midlife questions, and mens issues. Holly draws on a broad range of methods including counselling, social work practice, group therapy, meditation and mindfulness facilitation. She adapts the mix of techniques to each persons needs and goals rather than using a single fixed method.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside deeper personal insight. Her style is compassionate and grounded. Holly aims to listen carefully, reflect what matters, and help people build skills that work in daily life.
She works at a pace set by the client and adjusts plans as circumstances change. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Holly acknowledges that courage. She welcomes people who want thoughtful, practical support to move forward and find more confidence and clarity.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches for online counselling
Holly uses recognised, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people through common difficulties. One approach she often uses is mindfulness practice - simple breathing and attention exercises that reduce stress and help with anxiety and mood regulation. Another commonly used method focuses on practical problem solving and skills-building to improve communication, manage strong emotions, and handle life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly works with each person to understand their goals, history and daily challenges, then tailors techniques that fit their needs and preferences. She will review progress and adjust methods as goals evolve so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face to face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, step-by-step coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family and health commitments, while keeping continuity of care across weeks.
