About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a BACP-registered counsellor who works from a combination of independent practice and school counselling departments across the United Kingdom. Holly brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on areas such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, eating and mood difficulties.
They aims to treat each person as an individual and to adapt how they work to what someone needs in the moment. Holly uses straightforward conversation and listening as a starting point.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to centre on what matters most to the client right now, whether that is coping with panic, reducing anxious thoughts, or managing low mood. Practical steps and small goals are introduced when helpful, alongside talking through feelings and patterns. Their approach draws on client-centred principles that keep the person’s experience at the heart of the work.
Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour cycles and to try out different ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and staying present. Holly also brings psychodynamic thinking into longer-term work, looking at repeated relationship patterns and emotional history when this is useful.
They are attentive to topics such as body image, process addiction, gender dysphoria and the emotional impact of chronic illness. People who contact Holly can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and a practical focus on what will help now. The therapist encourages collaboration so that goals and strategies are shaped together.
How Holly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Holly works from a client-centred stance which means sessions begin with the client’s priorities and feelings. This approach focuses on building a trusting conversation and tailoring each session to what the person needs right now, whether that is emotional support or practical problem solving.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then test small changes. It helps with anxiety, panic and low mood by breaking patterns and creating manageable experiments to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy offers simple grounding exercises and breathing work to reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment, which can be useful for stress and panic attacks.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Holly will talk with the client about goals, try different ways of working, and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to find methods that feel useful and to pace change according to each person’s comfort.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth, and messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when in-person meeting is difficult.
