Welcome to Holistically Human™

The home of Whole-Human Therapy™

We bring together counselling and body-based therapies to support you as a whole person — recognising the connection between your experiences, relationships, mind and body.

Our hand-picked counsellors offer professional, trauma-informed support, tailored to you.

In-person and online counselling across the UK. Supporting adults and young people aged 14 and over.

How we work

Our hand-picked counsellors, along with our team of body and breath work specialists, provide tailored support, while our education programs train the next generation of practitioners in holistic, evidence-based care.

Instead of quick fixes or one-size-fits-all counselling, at Holistically Human™ we combine proven psychotherapeutic methods with the latest mind-body research to help clients create meaningful, long-term change.
Put simply, we help our clients reconnect and learn tools to regulate both their mind and body.

What working holistically means in practice

Our Whole Human approach recognises that emotional wellbeing is shaped by our relationships, experiences, physical wellbeing and the world around us. We bring together established counselling approaches and an understanding of the mind–body connection to support meaningful, long-term change.

The relationship at the heart of the work

We take time to understand you and what matters to you. Our counsellors work collaboratively, at a pace that feels right for you.

Working sensitively with what you have experienced

Being trauma-informed means recognising how difficult experiences can affect how you feel, relate and cope. We prioritise safety, choice and trust, without expecting you to share everything before you feel ready.

Connecting mind and body

Therapy doesn’t take place just “in the head”. Where helpful, we explore physical sensations alongside thoughts and feelings, helping you recognise your responses and find ways to feel more settled and connected.

Holistically Human™
Transforming mental health, one whole person at a time.

We recognise that support looks different for everyone. You may be drawn to movement-based practices, talking therapy, or body-based work depending on what you’re experiencing. Our directories are designed to help you find the right approach — whether that’s working with a movement practitioner, connecting with a counsellor, or exploring hands-on, body-based support.

Meet our Holistic Humans

“I found the training really informative, thought-provoking and practically helpful. I particularly valued the real-life examples of interventions with clients, which brought the theory to life and made it much easier to see how it can be applied in practice. The exploration of the Window of Tolerance was especially valuable for me in deepening my understanding of how to support clients in regulating their nervous systems and working safely with trauma.”

Kami, qualified counsellor

“I was sitting in Costa the other day having a coffee and just taking a bit of time out, something I try to do more often now. It struck me how different my outlook on life is compared to a couple of years ago. A lot of that change is down to Catherine – her knowledge, wisdom and guidance have made a real difference to me. I’m much more able to relax, slow down and see things differently now. I’m really grateful for the support I had and just wanted to say thank you.”
