How Holly’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It gives people space to tell their story and decide what matters in the work, which helps build trust and clarity around goals.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises and at-home experiments to test new ways of thinking and coping with anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity to stress. In online sessions this can involve short guided practices and simple daily habits to lower anxiety and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will discuss aims, try methods that suit the client's needs, and adapt the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process means the style of therapy can shift if something else seems more helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let clients have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection and when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while still using the therapeutic approaches described above.
