Holly O’Neill - Profile

I’m Holly and I’m based at The Eaves in Godalming. I have supported adults with feelings of grief, trauma, anxiety, relationships, low self-worth or loss of identity. Aside from the traditional elements of talking therapy, I have a special interest in how the body holds onto our deepest emotions and can show up as tension or chronic pain. When appropriate, I may invite you to explore sensations through movement, breath or meditation.

In a session with me you can expect the following:

I will be listening out for patterns and themes. I might reflect certain things back to you by repeating or paraphrasing things you’ve said. I will be interested in your current experiences and issues. When relevant, I will ask you about your past and how you believe this may be impacting your present. We may explore any sensations arising in the body. We will talk about how you are supporting yourself outside of the sessions, building up your own resources is key. I will bring our awareness to the patterns emerging between us and how this might be reflected in your other relationships. I will check in regularly with you on how you feel the therapy is progressing.

I offer a free 30 minute telephone/online session where we can decide whether I am the right therapist for you at this time. I offer both short term (focused) or long term (open ended) therapy.

I am a registered member of the BACP and work within their Ethical Framework. I have regular supervision and attend regular CPD training.
