Holly Hird, BACP

Holly Hird sees positive mental health as a core part of wellbeing across all stages of life, and acknowledges that life can present complex challenges that sometimes need more focused support. Whether someone is currently facing a difficult period or carrying issues from the past that limit their choices, therapy can help identify underlying causes, address unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and support a move toward a more constructive way forward.

As a qualified psychotherapist, Holly helps clients make sense of their experiences while building the confidence and independence needed to create change. Her method is adaptable, imaginative and nurturing, and she invites clients to bring their personalities and a touch of humour into sessions where appropriate. She views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership and works with each person to pinpoint concerns and design a tailored plan that reflects their individual needs and goals.

Holly acknowledges that therapy can be demanding, and believes that with shared commitment it can also be a very empowering process. She has 10 years of experience working in a variety of settings with both adult and adolescent clients. Holly is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a UK professional body that sets recognised ethical and professional standards for practice.
