About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. Holly supports people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating and body image concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and bereavement. They also offer help around sexuality, gender dysphoria, parenting pressures and coping with life changes.
Holly combines practical techniques with open conversation. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and trying new ways of responding. The practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centred listening and some psychodynamic ideas about patterns and past experience.
Work in schools and private practice has shaped a straightforward style. Holly aims to help people identify small, manageable steps and to test them in day-to-day life. Conversations include concrete strategies for stress, tools for managing panic or anxiety, and plans for addressing eating and addictive behaviours.
They pay attention to sexual and gender diversity and have a stated focus on kink, BDSM and alternative sex culture, and on gender dysphoria. Issues such as chronic illness, guilt, shame, isolation and impulsivity are also within their stated interests.
Holly uses a flexible, collaborative approach. Clients can expect to be heard and to leave sessions with practical ideas to try between meetings. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.
How therapy approaches inform online sessions
Holly works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a practical way, focusing on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours in daily life. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood and many stress-related problems. Client-Centred Therapy is used to provide a listening space where the person's own goals guide the work. This approach supports people who want to clarify values, make decisions, or find motivation. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to build simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and aid emotional regulation during stressful moments. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Holly will work collaboratively to agree what methods suit the client's goals, needs and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT tools, trying mindfulness exercises between sessions, or reflecting on life patterns with a psychodynamic perspective. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make follow-up check-ins or short coaching-style meetings easier to arrange. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they fit with work, study or caregiving commitments.Areas of expertise
