I have successfully treated many conditions such as anxiety, depression, self esteem, PTSD, perfectionism, OCD, panic disorder, phobias and others.
Hi, I'm Holly. I have worked in the NHS as a fully qualified psychotherapist for 12 years now. I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). Being a therapist is a calling for me. I am passionate about helping people to uncover the things within us that are holding us back. I don't believe that mental health is black or white- it is about finding the healthiest version of you. If you want a therapist who is approachable, will prioritise you and provide safe and effective care then please drop me a message or give me a call.

You are not broken. You may be experiencing emotional injury, and/or psychological distress, but this does not communicate brokenness. On the contrary, this communicates an emotional BUILD. You might be struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, women's issues, trauma, grief, loss, low self-esteem, low self-worth, etc. It may even be likely that you have learned how to live in a way that attempts to guard you from any additional emotional injuries. Essentially, your life experiential may have taught you how to build a wall of emotional defense, but that is not your truest self

I mostly work with clients who have been adversely affected by abuse, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I have extended this to work with couples and relationships. I work by tuning into each client’s individual circumstances and listen to how their life experiences have impacted them. I can offer some solutions, such as coping mechanisms for managing trauma responses such as anxiety and depression. I also offer help in developing practical skills in managing narcissistic behaviour, such as carefully considered boundary setting, recognising that boundaries often come with negative consequences.

We are all different and unique so I tailor my therapeutic approach to your individual need. I can appreciate how overwhelming and isolating life can feel sometimes, and how being our authentic and vulnerable self can feel risky and unsafe. Together, and at your pace, we can start to make sense of your experiences, your world, and how you relate with yourself and others; enabling you to move forward in life feeling liberated and empowered with authenticity.

Have you found yourself saying things like “I should be over this by now”, “I need to be strong”, “If I move forward, I’m afraid that I will forget my memories”, “No one else really understands", "I don’t want to bother others”, “How do I move on?”. Perhaps these feelings are a result of loss. Loss occurs in our lives in many ways: losing someone, leaving a home or country, the loss of a relationship, the loss of a job, or even a loss of a part of ourselves. My purpose is to help people process the heaviness, the burdens, the shame, the guilt, the fears, the things we daren’t say to others.

I work with a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, addictions, PTSD, phobias and issues around self-esteem. I invite clients to shape and set goals (these are often added to!) and we work together to reach them. Sometimes problems have gone on for years; sometimes they are new and acute. In both cases they can be resolved: clients move towards a life that is fulfilling, meaningful and happy. In the past year I have helped children, young people and adults, whose ages range from 10 to 85 years. Every session, from the very first, focuses on gaining understanding and making progress.

Choosing a therapist can be daunting, especially when you may be feeling anxious, depressed, confused, or at a low point. Maybe you're thinking how can anyone understand. If you’ve had no experience of working with a counsellor, or previous counseling wasn't what you expected or were ready to continue, I understand this can be difficult. I work with the complexity and difficulty of trauma which ranges from person to person.
