About Holly
Holly Griffiths is a psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. Holly combines talking therapy with a person-focused way of working and aims to treat each client as an individual. They present themselves with sensitivity and respect and tailor sessions to what each person needs.
Holly has helped people with stress, anxiety and depression, and with issues around eating and self-harm. They also support people facing relationship difficulties, grief, addiction and life changes.
Background and approach
There is a focus on matters tied to gender and sexuality, including LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria. Alongside clinical work, Holly runs counselling departments in schools and maintains a independent practice. That mix means they are used to short-term goal work and longer, more reflective pieces of therapy.
Clients may meet someone who can switch between practical techniques and deeper exploration. Holly uses a range of approaches. Sessions often draw on client-centred work to centre the person, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and mindfulness to build present-moment skills.
Psychodynamic thinking may also be used when looking at longer-standing patterns. Holly respects different ways of living and attends to topics sometimes missed in mainstream therapy, such as kink and alternative sexual cultures, body image, chronic illness and process addictions. They work collaboratively so people leave with clearer steps and calmer thinking.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without judgement and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. This method helps when someone needs a supportive, steady space to talk about feelings and identity.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful habits. People often use it when they want tools they can practise between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice the present moment and to respond less reactively to stress. It can help with anxiety, panic and difficulties with concentration or chronic pain by building small daily practices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide what to try first. That collaborative process helps steer whether sessions stay more practical, more exploratory, or a blend of both.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before you book. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and offer a quieter environment for check-ins or structured skill work. Some formats allow shorter sessions or audio-only conversations when video is difficult, which can help people manage sessions around work or caregiving commitments.
