About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. Holly holds BACP accreditation and combines psychotherapy with an interest in holistic wellbeing. They work with individuals on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and eating concerns.
Holly aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Holly spends time between independent practice and running counselling departments in schools. This brings experience supporting people through motivation problems, self-harm, low self-esteem and other challenges.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person rather than focusing only on a diagnosis. Holly uses a mix of approaches to match each individual. They draw on client-centred work to prioritise what matters most to the person in front of them.
Cognitive behavioural ideas can be used when someone wants practical steps to change thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, panic and coping in the moment. Psychodynamic ideas provide space to look at patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from.
Holly also works with concerns around sexuality and gender, including gender dysphoria and LGBTQ issues, and has extra focus on body image, kink and alternative sex culture. They help people dealing with grief, addictions, chronic illness, impulsivity and loneliness. If someone is thinking of starting therapy, Holly supports a collaborative process.
They aim to create a working plan together and adapt it as needs change.

How Holly works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small, practical changes. This can be useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and eating-related problems because it gives concrete steps to practise between sessions.
Mindfulness techniques are also offered to build skills for managing stress and staying present during intense moments. Simple exercises can be practised in short bursts and then reviewed together in therapy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods over time. The decision about what to try is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used. Please confirm the session types available when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule.
