Holly Larsen helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain about their next steps. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people can say what matters most. Parents reading on a phone will find short, steady sentences and a calm tone.

Holly is named here so readers know who they will be working with. She uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person rather than a checklist of symptoms.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to let people talk without judgement and to explore feelings at their own pace. Holly helps people make sense of stress, anxiety, grief and low mood in everyday language. Holly has four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

That experience includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, and addictive behaviours. She also supports those facing identity questions, body image concerns and issues around intimacy and commitment. Practical worries are covered too, such as sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress and coping with life changes.

Holly also works with people managing long-term conditions like bipolar, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Conversations can include exploring attachment, abandonment, control or dependent personality patterns. Her style is warm and non-judgemental.

Holly aims to empower people to find clearer choices and small changes that fit their life. The first sessions usually focus on what the person wants to change and how to make that realistic day to day.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits issues like stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns where being heard is the first step.

Holly's online work carries the same person-focused stance. She aims to collaborate with each person to decide how therapy should proceed, matching the approach to goals and preferences rather than using a fixed method. This means adjustments can be made over time to fit changing needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging offers ongoing, flexible communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
