About me
Helping women reconnect with themselves in a world that's constantly telling them who they should be.
Hi, I'm Holly.
I qualified as a therapist nearly ten years ago, but if I'm honest, what interests me most isn't anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, people-pleasing or any of the other labels we tend to give things. Those things matter, of course, but they're rarely the whole story.
What interests me is people.
Particularly women who have reached a point where they realise they're exhausted from trying to be everything they're supposed to be.
A lot of the women I work with are brilliant. They're capable, thoughtful, caring and doing their absolute best. From the outside, they often look like they're coping perfectly well. But underneath that, they're doubting themselves constantly. They're overthinking everything. They're looking to other people for reassurance. They don't trust their own judgement anymore. They feel responsible for everyone else's happiness. Somewhere along the way they've become disconnected from themselves and they can't quite work out how it happened.
And honestly, I think that's incredibly understandable.
We live in a world that constantly tells women who they should be. Better mothers. Better partners. Better employees. Better friends. More confident. More successful. More grateful. More productive. More attractive.
It's bloody exhausting.
I think many women spend years trying to become the person they think they should be, without ever stopping to ask themselves who they actually are.
That's the conversation I'm interested in having.
Not "How do I become a better version of myself?"
But "Who am I underneath all of this?"
Underneath the expectations. Underneath the pressure. Underneath the coping strategies. Underneath the stories you've been carrying around about yourself for years.
My job isn't to give you the answers. It's to help create the space where you can start hearing your own.
That's why I love person-centred therapy so much. I genuinely believe most people know far more than they think they do. Life just gets noisy. We get hurt. We lose confidence in ourselves. We start looking everywhere else for answers because we've stopped trusting our own voice.
Therapy gives us the opportunity to slow things down and get curious. To understand why you feel the way you do. To make sense of patterns that keep showing up. To explore the things you don't normally say out loud. To be completely honest without worrying about being judged, upsetting someone or getting it wrong.
The women I work with often tell me things they've never told anyone else. Not because I have some magic technique, but because I think being deeply listened to is actually quite rare.
You don't need to have everything figured out when you come to therapy. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong. You don't need to turn up with a list of goals.
You can just come as you are.
Messy. Confused. Angry. Sad. Lost. Hopeful. All of it.
Because I don't think therapy is about fixing yourself. I think it's about understanding yourself.
And perhaps learning that you're far more human, and far less broken, than you've been led to believe...

Member organisations
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.
