Holly Larsen, BACP

Holly Larsen helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck or exhausted. She writes simply and listens closely so people can name what is troubling them. Holly aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to reduce the pressure of starting therapy.

She uses a client-centred approach, which means she follows each person’s lead and focuses on what matters most to them. Sessions are a chance to talk through worries, explore difficult memories, and practise small changes that can improve day-to-day life. Holly encourages clear, honest conversation rather than technical language.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem and addictions. She also supports people with relationship and family issues, intimacy-related worries, body image and eating or sleeping problems. Practical problems like career strain, parenting pressures and caregiver stress are part of her work too.

Holly has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She works with people coping with ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, anger and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment. Sessions are offered in English and are open to people inside and outside the United Kingdom.

Therapy sessions can include talking, reflecting and making small plans to test out new ways of coping. Holly aims to help people feel more able to tackle everyday demands and to find clearer ways forward when life feels confusing.

How Holly’s approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy is about placing the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the client’s lead and helps them name what matters most. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and problems that come from past hurt.

The therapist focuses on clear, straightforward conversation and simple next steps. That means sessions will usually involve talking through current problems, reflecting on patterns and agreeing small actions to try between meetings. Clients set the pace and the agenda, and progress is assessed together.

Working online can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial expressions and have a near face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in when time is tight. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want to reflect before they reply.

Many registered or accredited professionals offer these formats, and the therapist will work with each person to find the best match for their needs, goals and practical circumstances. This collaborative approach aims to make therapy flexible, accessible and workable alongside everyday commitments.
