About Meredyth

Meredyth Holland works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and life changes using a pluralistic counselling approach that combines several methods to suit each person. She is accredited with NCPS and has three years' experience in wellbeing and education settings.

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed work. Sessions involve listening, exploring what matters to the client and trying practical techniques to reduce overwhelm. She also teaches simple relaxation and mindfulness practices to use between sessions.

Much of her experience comes from working in schools and colleges supporting young adults and staff with stress and workload pressures. Before that she worked in a corporate setting and brings an understanding of workplace stress and career-related change.

Her practice includes attention to relationship patterns, communication problems and issues around separation and loss. She helps people address feelings of guilt, shame and loneliness, and supports work on self-worth, life purpose and parenting concerns.

Meredyth aims to work collaboratively, helping clients choose methods that feel right for them. Sessions are paced to allow a therapeutic relationship to develop and for practical steps to be tried between meetings.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Meredyth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas among other methods. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values-led action, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and finding direction. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can be useful for relationship difficulties and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and will then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the work proceeds.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue work during periods of relocation or changing routines, while the therapist and client test techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation between appointments.
