About me
Hi! My name is Holly and I am a Canadian-born mental health counselor based in Athens, Greece, dedicated to helping people reconnect with their inner strengths, wisdom, and most importantly, their sense of Self.
- How would you define yourself?
- Who are you beneath all the roles you play?
- Which parts of you feel chosen, and which feel inherited or imposed? These are the kinds of fundamental questions that guide my work.
My primary approaches draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), however I also incorporate techniques from Family Systems Theory, Art Therapy, Mindfulness, Depth Psychology, the Hero's Journey metaphor, Ancient Greek Mythology and am using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping).
My counseling style is flexible and adaptive, tailored to support each individual’s unique needs and goals while providing a safe, compassionate and 100% judgment-free space.
I recognize that life can be exciting, challenging, beautiful, and painful all at once, and I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and walking alongside you as you navigate the journey of life.

Approach
My primary approaches draw from Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Mindfulness invites us to slow down, notice the present moment, and meet our thoughts and feelings with gentle awareness. In counseling, I often use meditations, guided visualizations, breathing practices, and tapping (EFT) to ease stress, calm the mind, and create space for new perspectives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us notice unhelpful thought patterns and shift them in ways that support a healthier mindset and choices. In counseling, we work together to build practical skills and perspectives that make everyday challenges easier to navigate.
Internal Family Systems is a gentle, trauma-informed, empowering approach that helps us understand the different parts of ourselves: the voices, feelings, and patterns that live within us. In counseling, I guide people to meet these parts with curiosity and compassion, opening the way for healing, balance, and connection to their true Self.
