About me

Choosing a therapist can feel really daunting.  There is so much choice. Please rest assured that there is no right or wrong here. Just go with what feels right for you.

I am a practicing solicitor and qualified therapist. In my legal career, I work with clients experiencing extreme distress and trauma, which lead me to establish Esse Therapy.

I understand the pressures of professional life, and have experienced burn out, anxiety, trauma and PTSD. I know the bravery it takes to start looking for support, and taking steps to make a change.  I really get it. I have been there. Understand the overwhelm, and the ‘is this really all there is’ moments. I have got the t-shirt. I can help you move forward with clarity, purpose and optimism.

If you fancy a deep dive into what has brought me to being a therapist specialising in burn out, stress, anxiety and trauma for professionals, check out this podcast interview.

If I sound like the sort of person you would like to work with, then please get in touch. You may also want to check out my videos online or listen to a podcast that I have been featured in, to get a flavour of the sort of work that I do.

Testimonials

“Wonderful”

“Having not had hypnotherapy before, everything was explained really clearly and I was surprised just how well it worked on me. The effects were perfectly gentle yet long-lasting and profound. I would not hesitate to recommend both Holly and hypnotherapy to anyone.”

“Wonderful hypnotherapy session with Holly. She really took the time to explain the process, the experience and the outcomes. I can highly recommend.”

“Holly is an incredible hypnotherapist..….She has a deeply therapeutic presence—calm, grounded, and genuinely invested in her clients' well-being. Her sessions create a space where real transformation can happen, and her approach is both professional and deeply personal.”
