About me
Hi, I’m Holly — a warm welcome.
Individual therapy
I'm a psychotherapist working with people who spend much of their lives supporting others and are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally stretched. This may include parents, carers, professionals in helping roles, or those navigating relationship difficulties. You may feel depleted, responsible for everyone else, or disconnected from your own needs. Sometimes there are additional challenges in life such as trauma, loss, lack of support or managing a chronic health condition. Perhaps you have learnt to protect yourself by putting your needs at the bottom of the list, people pleasing or masking.
I offer a warm, down-to-earth and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we can make sense of what you are carrying, understand patterns in your life, and explore ways to navigate stress, overwhelm, relationships or life transitions. Therapy can also be a space for personal growth — helping you reconnect with your values, needs and sense of self.
I aim to be welcoming, neurodiversity-affirming and inclusive.
Couple and Relationship therapy
If your relationship is in crisis or you would like your relationship/s to be more fulfilling then working with a psychotherapist can offer a fresh perspective. We can explore together the dynamics in your relationship, start to think about what you want from your relationship and what you can change for the better.
I am inclusive of Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity, working with people in LGBTQ+ relationships and those who are Ethically Non-Monogamous or Polyamorous.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach
As a therapist I am hopeful and compassionate. I work in a collaborative way and we'll go at a pace that feels right for you. I can support you to tap into your inner resources and strengths, understand any patterns and themes in your life and this can help you make any changes that are meaningful for you.
My approach is tailored to you. I draw on years of experience and evidence-informed training, and I am trauma-informed in the way I work. I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches, including relational psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
About me
I qualified as a therapist in 2010 and in addition to working in various different settings, I spent four years employed by the NHS in GP surgeries as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT). I've worked therapeutically with many clients experiencing anxiety (social/ health/ general and panic), low mood, trauma and loss. I've run several groups during my time in the NHS including a group for carers and one for mum's experiencing postnatal depression and anxiety.
I have lots of experience working with parents and carers who have a child or relative who is disabled, neurodivergent and/or has complex medical conditions. As well as being a psychotherapist I am also a parent carer.
My qualifications include:
- BSc Psychology
- Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling (2010)
- Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Studies (2015)
- Certificate in Couple/ Relationship Therapy
I've done additional workshops and training such as: Working online, Compassion focused therapy for postnatal depression, Compassion focused therapy for anger, perfectionism, Fundamentals of Internal family systems for trauma, grief and anxiety. Neurodivergence in the counselling room (September 2025).
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

I look forward to hearing from you.
