Counselling in EX1
I believe that our capacity to cope with issues that arise in adult life, whether this is how we experience the world, relate to others, cope with difficult situations or understand and manage what can often be overwhelming emotions, is ultimately bound up with our early experiences. Whether we wish to or not we carry our history with us and sometimes this does not provide the strong foundation needed to engage and embrace life or weather its storms. I work with clients to recognise the origins of their difficulties so that together we might arrive at a place where life is understandable, and they feel both validated and valued.

You may know exactly what you want to work through or just feel you're not the person you want to be. Trauma responses, OCD, a phobia or social anxiety might be getting the better of you, or you may have no one to talk to in confidence. How we each feel is unique and experienced individually. I have a personalised approach that is caring, sensitive and you can explore thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged whatever is in your life now or in the past. Together we can manage difficult times in your life, make sense of challenges, understand patterns and find ways to create meaningful positive change.

I work with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, low mood, confidence issues, life transitions, and the pressures of modern life. Many of my clients are professionals, business owners, leaders, and neurodivergent adults who feel capable on the outside but exhausted on the inside. They often come to therapy feeling mentally overloaded, stuck, unable to switch off, or finding everyday life difficult to manage. Together, we explore the challenges they are facing, reduce overwhelm, build coping strategies, and help them regain clarity, confidence, and balance.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the thoughts that are running through your head? Thoughts that are generating anxiety, worry, fear, sadness, shame or a general feeling of being 'stuck' feeling a bit helpless and not being able to find a way forward?
Sometimes in life we come across challenges that are too big to manage and cope with by ourselves and we need a helping hand to work through problems, find some clarity and build our resilience so we can cope better when life throws us curve balls.

I am person centred and I work with your mind and body. Do you feel life is hard? Does it seem like everyone else is confident—careers, relationships, confidence—while you’re left feeling anxious or sad or frustrated? If you are finding this, you’re not alone. I offer a calm, supportive space to help you reconnect with your path forward. I'll explore your goals and increase your confidence. We will build a therapeutic alliance. Together, we can move towards a life that feels authentic and meaningful. This is your time to pause, reflect in a safe and supported space, and gently shape new paths together. Why not send me a contact?

My approach to therapy draws from psychodynamic understanding of feelings and behaviours that might be challenging or painful in the present and can often be traced back to early life experiences. I offer a private and safe space where we work together at your own pace and without judgment.

Clients come to me when they are experiencing distress in their relationships, with their sex lives or within themselves. Whether they are seeking help in processing a string of messy break-ups, exploring alternative relationship such as polyamory or intimacy styles such as kink and BDSM, dealing with cheating, shame, guilt or regret, or suffering from low self-esteem and feeling stuck. I listen, reflect, and support my clients with identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns. Nothing is taboo or too shocking to bring to me. Also experienced in delivering workshops and seminars to groups, media and educational settings.

Therapy can be daunting and takes courage. My aim will be to work in partnership with you and to explore the reasons why you have turned to therapy. It is your experience and how it has affected you that counts.

Hi, I’m Holly — a warm welcome. I work with people who spend much of their lives supporting others and are now feeling anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally stretched.

I offer a warm, down-to-earth and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, make sense of what you are carrying, and reconnect with yourself. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and inclusive. Therapy can offer space for you, too.
