About Orlando

Orlando Hollingsworth is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience. He works with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression and parenting concerns. He aims to make the first step easier and offers calm, respectful support for those who feel unsure about therapy.

Orlando uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. He adapts sessions to individual needs and helps people set practical goals. That might mean working on self-esteem, managing anger, or finding ways to cope with big life changes.

Background and approach

He draws on a mix of therapy styles to suit different problems. Sessions can include looking at current thoughts and behaviours, exploring past patterns that keep repeating, and considering how attachment and relationships shape feelings. He explains approaches in everyday language and keeps plans simple and goal-focused.

Orlando also works with people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. He offers support around career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. He treats issues such as communication problems, commitment worries and blended family strains in practical, down-to-earth ways.

People can expect a collaborative process that sets clear, manageable steps. Orlando describes himself as sensitive and compassionate, and he tailors discussions so they fit each person’s situation. He encourages clients to try different strategies and to bring feedback so therapy stays useful.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Orlando commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement, helping people find their own answers and build confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood and stress.

He also uses attachment-informed ideas to consider how early relationships shape current reactions. This can help people understand patterns in their parenting, intimacy and communication and choose different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of mixing methods to suit your needs. Decisions about focus and techniques are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible options to fit busy lives. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, and live chat or text messaging can work for quick updates or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
