About Holly
Holly Larsen is a counsellor who focuses on helping parents and individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and encourages people to speak openly about what matters to them. Holly uses straightforward language and practical steps so conversations feel clear and useful from the first session.
Holly is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP.
Background and approach
She has four years of professional experience working with common problems like depression, low self-esteem, and sleep or eating difficulties. Her work also covers trauma, addiction and ADHD-related challenges. In sessions she follows a client-centred approach.
That means she puts the person’s concerns at the heart of the work and adapts the pace to each individual. The focus is on listening, reflecting and helping people notice what they want to change. Parents often come for help with family conflict, blended family adjustments, or the ongoing stress of caregiving.
Holly supports people exploring attachment, abandonment and communication problems in everyday life. She also helps with intimacy-related issues and managing strong emotions like anger and guilt. Practical steps and steady support are her hallmarks.
Conversations can include setting simple goals, trying new ways of talking with others, and building routines for better sleep and mood. Holly encourages small changes that fit into busy lives.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy is about listening first and following the person’s pace. The counsellor offers reflection and empathy rather than directing every step, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.The approach is gentle and person-focused, and it suits people who want to explore feelings and find their own solutions. It can be especially useful for parents managing stress, attachment concerns or family communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit your needs and style. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical changes you can try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are handy for short check-ins, step-by-step problem solving, or when writing helps you organise thoughts. These options make therapy easier to fit around busy parenting schedules and different routines.
