Counselling Services in Plymouth: About Holly Ryan

I have a genuine passion for helping people, and being a counsellor is truly an honour. It’s something I had always dreamed of doing, and after leaving the busy London rat race many years ago, I was able to follow this calling. 

Like many, I have faced my own struggles in life, but through counselling, I was able to overcome them and discover so much more about myself. This journey has given me a deep empathy for others and a strong belief in the power of counselling to create real, lasting change. 

As a counsellor, I have a particular interest in providing anxiety support. Having experienced panic attacks in my younger years, I know how overwhelming they can feel but I also know there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. Additionally, I have a special interest in perimenopause counselling and also volunteered for a pregnancy crisis charity in Plymouth, helping those who have experienced miscarriage and fertility struggles along with dealing with pregnancy anxiety. 

Alongside my work as a counsellor, I am also a children’s author, which brings me great joy. I would describe myself as happy-go-lucky and positive, and when appropriate, I like to bring warmth, humour, and smiles into my sessions. 

If you feel ready to begin your journey towards becoming a happier version of yourself, I would be honoured to walk alongside you. Please do get in touch — I’d love to hear from you.
