About me

Struggling with anxiety, feeling low, relationship difficulties or the effects of trauma? You don't have to work through it all alone.

Perhaps you've been holding things together for a long time, head just above water, putting your own needs last, or carrying painful experiences that are difficult to talk about such as abuse or violence. You might feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself or unsure how to move forward. Perhaps you feel down or not yourself and don’t know why.Maybe you are grieving a pregnancy loss, coping with the uncertainty of infertility and carrying feelings that others don't fully understand.

Whether that something is happening now or happened in the past, counselling can help.

I'm Holli, a qualified person-centred therapist offering talking therapy, trauma therapy and clinical hypnotherapy. I provide in-person counselling in L39 and online therapy across the UK.

I support people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship problems and the emotional impact of difficult life experiences. I also have a particular interest and specialise in supporting survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, as well as people navigating pregnancy loss and infertility.
Whatever has brought you here, you deserve to be heard and supported without judgement.

A warm, down-to-earth approach: My approach is person-centred, which means we work together in a way that respects you, your experiences and what you need from therapy. I'll offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, explore your feelings and begin to make sense of what's happening.

There's no pressure to share everything at once. Together, we can explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop a greater understanding of yourself and work towards feeling more confident, emotionally balanced and in control of your life.

Free 20-minute introductory call: Finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute introductory call so you can ask questions, tell me a little about what you're looking for and get a feel for whether we'd work well together.

Taking that first step can feel daunting and you don't need to have everything figured out before getting in touch.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Training, qualifications & experience

With over 14 years’ experience working with survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse, this remains a key area of focus in my practice. I also provide specialist counselling at RASA Merseyside.

Alongside trauma work, I support clients with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, childhood and recent trauma, infertility, IVF, and pregnancy loss.

Where appropriate, I may refer clients to more specialist support for addiction, eating disorders, or bereavement.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership
