About Me

Holly Kamala

I am a therapist and artist. I love my work. I especially love witnessing, hearing and feeling changes in people as they overcome limiting beliefs and blossom into their best selves.

I have over 14 years therapy experience. I originally trained as an Occupational Therapist, specialising in Mental Health and CFS/ME/Fatigue/Fibromyalgia. This original training included CBT and SFBT approaches. I felt more aligned with psychotherapeutic approaches, and went on to study NLP, Hypnotherapy, Counselling and Psychotherapy. This combination has grounded me in how the mind, body and emotions interconnect. I am passionate about lifelong learning and am always deepening and evolving my skills. You can read more about my current therapeutic approach here.

My first name Holly is a symbol of HOPE. Holly berries remind us that even the worst winters change and warm, bright spring will come again. I look forward to helping you be optimistic again.

My middle name, Kamala, means water lily. Water Lillies are a metaphor for TRANSFORMATION, because they convert murky pond water into beautiful flowers. I believe that we can transform your difficult past experiences into a beautiful future.
