GHP Psychological Services
Although crises are emotionally painful they are opportunities to develop insight into what has led up to this point and to explore and learn new ways of responding to the demands of life.
Dr Gerrie Holloway
Experienced, compassionate psychological therapy built on more than 30 years of clinical practice.
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience working with adults across the NHS, prisons, and hospital settings. In 2023 I established GHP Clinical Psychology Private Practice, where I offer independent, thoughtful psychological therapy. Many people seek therapy at times when life has become difficult, confusing, or painful. My role is to provide a calm, confidential space where you can speak openly, be carefully listened to, and begin to understand the patterns, experiences, and difficulties that may be shaping your life.

Supervision and Case Consultation
I offer supervision and case consultation to a range of professionals requiring a supportive space to reflect upon therapeutic processes.
I am qualified in clinical supervision and I use the Hawkins and Shoet process model.
Approach
Therapy that combines clinical expertise with human warmth.
I begin with an initial consultation to understand what is bringing you to therapy, what you would like to change, and what kind of approach is likely to be most helpful.
Sessions aim to increase your insight and emotional understanding into the causes of your difficulties and to support you to identify ways forward, including considering the use of evidenced-based skills training and tools.
I
Initial consultation
A focused first meeting to understand your concerns and agree plan for future sessions.
II
Collaborative formulation
A collaborative psychological formulation is typically developed during the first four to six sessions. It will explain your current difficulties, their origins, the factors that maintain them, and the recommended treatment approach.
III
Ongoing support
Therapy is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains useful, responsive, and effective.
Informed Consent
Initial sessions will focus on assessing your difficulties. This assessment concludes with formulating those difficulties, exploring how they interact and identifying factors leading to your current situation. Crucially, an agreed therapy plan will be developed. I value fully informing clients about therapy goals and obtaining their consent.
