About Holly

Holly Larsen is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anger and anxiety. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel less daunting. Holly encourages honest conversation so clients can say what they think and feel without fear of judgement.

She uses a client-centred approach, which means the person is at the heart of each session. Holly listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help people understand themselves better. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace they find comfortable.

Holly has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a calm, practical style that suits people coping with life changes and emotional strain.

Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, anger and relationship and family issues. She also works with concerns such as body image, attachment and caregiver stress. Conversations are grounded in everyday problems and choices rather than technical language.

Holly accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and runs sessions in English. Prospective clients are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions based on the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Her aim is to help people feel more able to cope, clearer about next steps, and more confident in making the changes they want.

How client-centred methods translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens carefully and reflects what they hear to help a person gain clarity and feel understood. This approach can be helpful for concerns such as anxiety, anger, grief and relationship or family stress.

Because Holly focuses on following the client's lead, therapy usually centres on what the person wants to work on now. Conversations help people notice patterns, name feelings and decide small, practical steps to try between sessions. The aim is collaboration so the client and counsellor choose what feels most useful together.

The original biography does not specify which online session types are offered. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins that match a lunch break or a quieter hour. It can also let people choose a way of meeting that best suits their energy and focus, such as a conversation-based session or a shorter phone update.
