About Timothy
Timothy Holton is a counsellor who helps people worried about stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. He also supports those facing relationship or family strain, sleep problems, anger, career questions and life changes. He works online and by phone and uses a collaborative style to suit each person’s needs.
Timothy begins by asking about what life looks like now and how things reached this point.
Background and approach
He listens for practical patterns and immediate priorities. Sessions focus on what is useful in the moment and on small steps that can ease daily pressure. His way of working is holistic and client-centred.
That means the conversation stays focused on the person’s own experience and goals, rather than fitting them to a fixed method. He also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term targets and measure progress. Timothy includes elements of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate to address traumatic memories.
He explains methods clearly and adapts them to suit each individual’s pace and comfort level. Across sessions the goal is practical change rather than lengthy theory. People can expect a straightforward approach: talk about what matters most, try a few manageable techniques, and review what helps.
Timothy holds a BACP credential and has six years of clinical experience working with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens carefully, follows the client’s pace and mirrors what seems most important to them. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk, make sense of feelings, and decide what matters next.Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to support processing of distressing memories. In practice it involves guided techniques to attend to memories while noticing sensations and thoughts, with the aim of reducing their intensity over time. It can be helpful for people struggling with trauma-related symptoms.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. Sessions set clear, short-term goals and test what works in day-to-day life. This can be useful for immediate problems like sleep disruption, stress at work, or coping with a life transition.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options, try methods that match your needs and adjust based on what helps. Clients take part in choosing goals and shaping the work.
Online formats offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a good option if lower bandwidth is needed or when not being on camera feels better. Live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching-style support or regular short contact between longer sessions. These options let people access care from different places and timetables.
