Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Holly works from several established therapeutic approaches that translate well to online formats. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client is supported to explore their feelings and make their own choices - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often used for anxiety, depression and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reshape emotional responses within close relationships, which can be useful for couples, family difficulties and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Holly will work with each person to assess needs, preferences and goals, and adapt methods over time to find what fits best. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy is practical and relevant to the individual’s life.

Online therapy with Holly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit work, family and daily commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, helping people maintain continuity of care during busy or challenging periods.
