Holly Dowdles

I currently am available on a Wednesday only  (10-6) at The Melton Wellness House for both in person and online sessions via Zoom.

I offer up to a 30 minute phone call for free prior to your first session to see if you still feel comfortable to proceed further.

I work from a Person-Centred approach which will focus on being non-directive. I believe that every individual has the ability to explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours when being provided with an environment that is accepting, non-judgemental and trusting. With the help of my empathic nature, we will work towards creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe and welcoming.

When working together, I will aim to ensure that you utilise the space in whatever way feels necessary for you. I am aware that every individual processes their thoughts differently. So, whether you need space to breathe and think or the opportunity to discover and release, I will be here alongside you on your counselling journey.

Sometimes words can feel too difficult or explicit to say aloud and so I often find that working with Metaphorical Language or Imagery can be a good way for me to understand your inner world better and hopefully increase the trust you have in our therapeutic relationship.

In your first session, I will use this session to get a basic understanding of the reasons why you may be visiting me and if there is anything in particular that you would like to explore. This will be a good opportunity for us both to see if we would feel comfortable working together moving forward.
