Hilary Holford Counselling & Psychotherapy

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist in Nottingham and believe passionately in the value of counselling and therapy. After obtaining a Certificate in Counselling Skills in 2004, I later went on to gain an MA in Humanistic Counselling (Distinction) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Trauma Studies (Merit), both from the University of Nottingham.

For me, the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is the key to successful counselling or psychotherapy, and the dialogue between us forms the core of the therapeutic relationship. I aim to offer you a warm, calm, supportive and non-judgmental environment in which, by talking together, we can look at whatever difficult issues you are facing.

Once we have made initial contact by telephone, I will offer you an initial assessment appointment (see below). This will give each of us an opportunity to meet one another. Depending on what we decide after this, I can offer you a fixed number of sessions or a longer-term arrangement, either of which can be reviewed as time goes on.

My practice is conveniently located slightly north of the city centre, just off the A60 Mansfield Road on the borders of Mapperley Park, close to Carrington, Sherwood and Arnold. It is easily accessible by any bus routes passing the Forest Recreation Ground e.g.

As permit-only parking is in force, off-road parking is offered for the duration of your session, whilst some longer-term parking is also close at hand in Chestnut Grove and at The Forest Park & Ride car park.Exact address and directions will be given with your appointment. If you would like to discuss anything on this website, I would be pleased to have an informal discussion with you.
