About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. Holly balances a private practice with running counselling departments in schools. They work with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating difficulties and self-harm, and aim to treat each person with respect and sensitivity.
Holly believes therapy should be shaped around the individual rather than a diagnosis. Sessions are adapted to what the person needs in the moment, with a straightforward, compassionate style. Holly emphasises practical steps alongside time to talk things through.
In sessions Holly draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. These are used flexibly to suit aims like managing anxiety, improving self-worth, or changing unhelpful patterns.
Holly also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, parenting stresses, grief, addiction and identity questions, including matters linked to LGBT and gender dysphoria. Additional focus areas include body image, chronic illness, kink and sexual wellbeing where relevant to the person’s goals.
Holly works in a non-judgemental way and aims to build a working relationship that feels safe and practical. If you are considering therapy, Holly asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be planned around individual needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Holly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in ways that are easy to understand. Client-centred work means the session focuses on what the person says and feels, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help them clarify their goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and some eating issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Holly will discuss which ways of working fit your goals and preferences and will adapt the mix of listening, practical exercises and reflective work together with you. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are shown when you begin the matching process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when needed. They can also let you continue work with the same therapist if you move or travel, so long as scheduling and location rules allow.
