About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. Holly works with stress, anxiety, eating and self-esteem difficulties, depression, addictions and a wide range of other concerns including guilt and shame. She practices with people who want practical ways to cope and clearer thinking about painful feelings.
Holly combines talking-based work with attention to everyday routines. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that fit into ordinary life. She uses a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to help people understand patterns and try different responses.
She has experience in school counselling departments as well as private practice. That background informs how she supports people across various life stages and pressures. Holly aims to work respectfully with identity and sexuality issues, and she lists LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, and kink and alternative sexual cultures among areas she addresses.
Many people come to her for help with body image, eating and food-related issues, or process addictions such as problematic pornography use. She also works with those managing chronic pain, illness and disability, and with people dealing with grief or big life changes.
Holly describes her approach as meeting individuals rather than diagnoses. In sessions she listens, outlines practical tools, and discusses how to put changes into practice between meetings. If a client wants to explore underlying patterns, she uses psychodynamic ideas alongside shorter-term CBT and mindfulness practices.
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Holly uses client-centred work that focuses on the person rather than a label, helping people talk through what matters to them and decide next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and practical listening before trying other techniques.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT provides simple strategies to test unhelpful thinking and to build different habits, which can suit worries, panic, or low mood.
Mindfulness practice is offered alongside these approaches to help people notice physical sensations and emotional patterns without reacting straight away. That can make it easier to try out different responses during daily routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Holly will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and then agree a plan together. That conversation helps decide whether to focus on short-term skills, deeper pattern work, or both.
