Holly Brick, NCPS

Holly Brick is a counsellor with ten years' experience in mental health settings. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression and career concerns. Holly also focuses on panic disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety and specific phobias. She holds the NCPS credential which is stated in her professional profile.

Her background includes roles across the independent sector, community and voluntary services, and NHS IAPT services (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies). Those placements have shaped a practical approach to therapy that mixes talking with active steps people can try between sessions.

Holly uses Client‑Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening environment where people feel understood. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and introduces hands‑on techniques to change them. Solution‑Focused Therapy helps set clear, short‑term goals and spot small changes that make a difference.

In sessions she aims to help clients identify patterns that maintain distress and to practice new ways of responding. Expect straightforward work on coping strategies, behavioural experiments and small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life. Holly explains methods simply and adjusts pace to what each person needs.

People considering therapy are invited to be part of planning the work. Holly encourages questions and regular checks on progress so the work stays relevant and useful.

How Holly’s approaches translate to online work

Client‑Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first and focuses on careful listening and clear feedback. Online sessions using this approach aim to create a respectful space where the client feels heard and understood, which helps build trust and direction for the work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, emphasises practical steps to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. In online sessions this can include guided exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments that the client tries between appointments to test new ways of coping.

Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and noticing what is already working. This approach suits short bursts of focused work online where clients and therapist set clear objectives and track progress week by week.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Holly will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and together they will select methods that fit the person’s needs. The plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Some people prefer shorter check‑ins or working without video; others like a longer weekly session.
