Meredyth Holland, NCPS

Meredyth Holland works from a pluralistic, client-focused approach that blends several practical therapies. She uses simple, conversational techniques and mindfulness to help people feel calmer and more able to make decisions. Meredyth aims to build a supportive space where people can say what matters to them and take small, manageable steps forward.

She holds NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and has three years of practice experience. That background includes several years in education wellbeing and prior work in a corporate environment. Those roles gave her first-hand insight into workplace pressure and the stresses faced by staff and students.

Sessions often focus on everyday problems such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with life transitions, career decisions, relationship difficulties, parenting strains, sleep or eating concerns, anger and issues linked to attachment or abandonment. Practical techniques such as relaxation and mindfulness are offered where helpful.

Her style is warm and listening-led. Meredyth helps people spot patterns in thinking and behaviour and then tries new ways of coping. Work can include clear steps to reduce panic, improve communication and manage overwhelm.

All sessions are conducted in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She does not take international clients. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts without getting pushed around by them and to commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance make life feel limited. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that developed in early relationships and how they affect current trust and closeness. It can help with feelings of abandonment, difficulties with connection, and relationship communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and practical needs, and then choose techniques together. Sessions are collaborative and can combine elements from different models to fit what a client finds helpful.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need flexible timing, or want brief messages between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life and keep continuity even when schedules change.
