About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Holly combines psychotherapy work in a independent practice with leading counselling services in school settings. They focus on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and related concerns.
Holly aims to treat each person as an individual rather than a set of symptoms.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what the client brings and what they want to achieve. Holly uses plain language and a calm, patient manner to make conversations straightforward and practical. People often come with questions about eating, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief, or the strains of parenting and life change.
Holly also supports those exploring sexuality, gender dysphoria, or issues linked to kink and alternative sex culture. Discussions can include body image, chronic illness, ADHD and other challenges that affect daily life. Holly draws on a mix of approaches including Client-Centred work, cognitive behavioural strategies and psychodynamic reflection.
Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to manage stress and panic. The therapist adapts methods to fit each person's pace and preferences rather than applying a fixed programme. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, alongside space to process difficult feelings.
Holly aims to build a working relationship that helps people recognise patterns, try new ways of coping, and move towards the changes they want.

How Holly’s approaches work online
Client-Centred work focuses on listening and supporting you to set the agenda. The aim is to offer understanding and empathy so you can explore what matters and make decisions that feel right. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will talk with you about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together you will tailor the mix of listening, practical tasks and mindfulness so it fits your situation and pace.
Online therapy makes sessions flexible and easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls are good for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let you communicate in writing when that feels more natural or when you want to check in between longer sessions. These options help people access regular support from different places and at different times.
