About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. Holly brings a practical and compassionate approach to sessions and treats each person as an individual. They focus on helping people get through hard moments and build skills for change.
Holly spends time between independent practice and running counselling departments within schools. That mix means they are used to short-term and longer-term work, and to supporting people who face everyday pressures as well as deeper difficulties.
Background and approach
Common concerns Holly supports include stress, anxiety, low mood, self-harm, eating and body image issues, and trauma and abuse. In sessions Holly draws on client-centred ways of working to put the person’s experience first. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and to build new coping strategies.
They also use mindfulness tools and psychodynamic ideas when exploring patterns that come from past experience. Holly describes their style as warm, respectful and down-to-earth. They aim to create a space where people can talk openly without judgement and work at a pace that suits them.
Practical goals and small steps are part of the work when that is helpful. Holly also offers support around sexuality and gender questions, LGBTQ concerns, addictions and relationship or parenting stresses. They are comfortable addressing issues related to kink and alternative sexual cultures, and they work with people managing chronic illness or disability.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be seen. Holly uses a subscription model for sessions, and will match working methods and pacing to the person’s needs.

How Holly's approaches work online
Holly combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness tools in online work. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical changes in behaviour to reduce distress and manage symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to ease anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.Choosing the right blend of methods is a shared process. Holly will talk through goals, try things out, and adjust the approach over time. That collaborative attitude helps make sure techniques fit the person’s needs, pace and preferences rather than being applied the same way to everyone.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well when visual cues and a fuller conversation are helpful. Phone sessions suit people who need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief updates, reflective exercises or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and family life.
