About Me
Hello,
My name is Holly, I am a Relationship & Traume Therapist based in Mersea Island, Colchester, Essex. I offer therapy for those online or in person. My past is a combination of working 16 years in banking, in HR and project roles. Years of trying to find who I was, I felt lost, scared and burnout. Struggling with medical conditions, in constant pain, throwing myself in to work to find meaning and purpose that just wasn’t there. Exhausted and not sure where to turn to make myself feel human again, I decided to try therapy. I tried different types of therapy, to find the right one for me, from EAP’s organised through work, NHS and private. This finally led me to study counselling, undertaking a BA(hons) in Integrative Counselling when I was made redundant from my banking job. I decided I wanted to help people, as I had been helped, I knew the support and power of therapy through my experience as a client and I couldn’t think of anything better to do with my career.
There may be times when life feels heavy, and you find yourself carrying more than you know how to manage. You might feel lost in repeating patterns, unsure why things keep unfolding the way they do, or disconnected from the person you once were. Perhaps past experiences still cast long shadows over your present, leaving you feeling uncertain, alone, or weary. It can be hard to make sense of all this on your own, and even harder to know where to begin.
​
In our time together, you will have a space where all of this can be brought gently into the open, without judgment or pressure. Here, you can slow down, share what feels painful or confusing, and begin to explore your experiences with care and compassion. We will look together at what shapes the way you see yourself and your relationships, as well as the hopes and intentions that live quietly within you. With time, you may find new understanding, a kinder connection with yourself, and a way forward that feels lighter and more true to who you are.​
​
To understand how we view ourselves, others, the world, through the investigation of our past and present experiences, can lead to a better more aware understanding of our meaning in life.
​
We cannot be present today, if we have little or no awareness and understanding of our past, and it's impacts upon us today.
