Orlando Hollingsworth, BACP

Orlando Hollingsworth is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and big life changes. He writes short, practical sessions that aim to build confidence and motivation. He respects each person's background and responds with sensitivity and compassion.

He draws on eight years of professional experience and uses that time to shape conversations around what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. He adapts the style of work to each person's needs rather than using a single template.

Orlando combines ideas from attachment-based work and client-centred practice to help people understand their close relationships and feel heard. He also uses cognitive behavioural strategies and narrative approaches to tackle unhelpful thinking and to rewrite difficult personal stories.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction-related problems, grief, trauma, parenting strain and intimacy issues. He also supports those dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

Orlando holds BACP accreditation, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients use the continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Orlando’s approaches translate to online work

Orlando draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect trust, jealousy and communication. Client-centred work means he focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping them feel understood before making changes.

He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood or repetitive jealousy-related thinking because it breaks problems into specific thoughts and actions to work on between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; he will help clients decide together what fits their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care if someone moves or is based overseas. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions so clients keep making progress.
