Person-centred therapy for LGBTQ+ clients
Start with Holly CruttendenLicensed · Professional · Cancel Anytime
Holly Cruttenden is a qualified therapist and counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds a counselling degree and a BSc in Psychology and has 4 years of experience working with clients both in the UK and internationally.
Her background includes extensive work with children and young people (CYP) as well as supporting adults with severe and complex mental health challenges. Alongside her counselling practice, Holly runs a CYP counselling project for Mind and works as an adult mental health recovery worker, assisting individuals through their recovery journeys.
Holly’s practice covers a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, confidence issues, family conflicts, and major life transitions. She also has specialised experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and people managing neurodiversity, trauma, and social-emotional difficulties.
Working in a person-centred way, Holly adapts her approach to each person’s needs and goals. She recognises that clients are experts in their own stories and aims to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
Seeking support is an important step and Holly walks alongside clients as they explore thoughts and feelings, identify unhelpful patterns, and work towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. She continues to develop her skills through ongoing professional development to offer effective, responsive support.
For many common concerns—such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes—online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical practice have found comparable outcomes for these types of issues when therapy is delivered remotely.
One major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. People can choose the mode of contact that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and it is possible to change therapists if a different fit is desired. For many, online therapy offers a practical and effective route to accessing therapeutic support.
