About me
"Having had therapy in the past and not getting on with it (CBT) I found Holly's approach such a relief, no judgement, no homework! just empathy and understanding" (Adult client)
"Thank you for offering such an inclusive space for my daughter, she has started talking to us more and seems so much happier" (parent of teen)
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or alone? Have you been trying to manage things on your own and now sense that some additional support could be helpful? Or are you a parent or carer supporting someone through a challenging time and looking for space for yourself, or for your young person?
By exploring your experiences together at a pace that feels comfortable, we can begin to make sense of what is happening and find a way forward that reconnects you with the life you want to lead. Each session is shaped around what feels most useful for you, offering a quiet space to reflect and be supported on your journey.
I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help, and how important it is to find a counsellor who feels right for you. That is why I will never try to sell myself or make promises I cannot keep. I am not here to “fix” or change you. Those choices remain yours. If you feel ready, we can arrange an initial conversation to explore whether I might be someone you would like to work with.
I work with both adults and adolescents across a wide range of difficulties. For young people this may include anxiety (school-related or more general), self-harm, low self-esteem, bereavement, questions around gender identity, or friendship struggles. With adults I support people experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties and neurodiversity challenges, among other concerns. Whatever feels important to you, we can look at it together in a calm and safe environment.
Face-to-face sessions take place in a private, tranquil rural setting with views of the Wrekin and plenty of off-street parking.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
