One-to-one Services
I don't know why my face is so wide in this picture. It's not this wide in real life.
Explore yourself, your work, your creativity, or your path in these one-to-one creative therapy, supervision and Creative Consultancy sessions, online, on Zoom.
I am delighted to be entering my third year of regularly offering these services to artists, creatives, performers, directors, group leaders, therapists and facilitators.
These sessions are booked on a term-by-term basis. Current clients get first dibs on the next term's slots.
There are a few slots available for September- December 2025. Please read all the information before getting in touch.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THESE ONE-TO-ONE SESSIONS?
I’ll begin by listening with compassion, before offering invitations to help you drop into deep inquiry about yourself, your work, your creativity or your path. We may use techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS), dramatherapy, embodiment, movement, small world (using objects to represent parts or people in your life) , guided meditation / focussing, reflective writing, artwork or just plain chatting! You are the captain of the ship and you can steer the sessions however you like.
I am guided by the ethics of my governing body, HCPC (Health and Care Professionals Council) and BADth (The British Association of Dramatherapists) of which I am a member.
It's been such a joy and a privilege to accompany people into the far corners of their hearts, minds and souls in this work! As I move into my 3rd year of regularly offering these services, I am looking forward to discovering how my new Somatic IFS and IFS Level 2 (IFIO)* skills compliment my toolkit.
*IFS Level 2 (IFIO) is the IFS training I have just completed. IFIO stands for Intimacy From The Inside Out and is designed for couples therapy. I am interested in applying the IFIO theory in my group work, but also intrigued to find out how this particular relational model will impact my one-to-one work...
WHO ARE THESE SESSIONS FOR?
These one-to-one sessions are for anyone aged 18+
I'm particularly interested in working with artists, creatives, performers, clowns, fools, directors, group leaders, therapists and facilitators. If you are none of these, but you are drawn to working with me then do still get in touch.
You don't have to have worked with me previously (although previous clients do get first dibs on each new season of sessions).
You need access to good internet and a private space.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CREATIVE CLARITY, SUPERVISION AND CREATIVE CONSULTANCY?
CREATIVE CLARITY
Creative Clarity is a dynamic, flexible, responsive form of therapy, which uses creative approaches and IFS to help you get in touch with you inner guide and find answers for life’s big conundrums. More about Creative Clarity here.
SUPERVISION
One-to-one reflective sessions for therapists, facilitators, directors, teachers or anyone else who holds space for groups of adults. Using creative approaches to focus on your practice, unpicking what's been happening in the room, building on your strengths as a leader and cultivating more safety and play for your participants. More about Supervision here.
CREATIVE CONSULTANCY
For individuals wanting to explore their creative practice, from exploring the early stages of a creative idea, to working through a creative block, to evaluating creative projects, to drawing back and getting some perspective on your creative path. More about Creative Consultancy here.
HOW IT WORKS
These hour-long one-to-one sessions are available on Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday mornings and afternoons, between September and December 2025.
This term you can book up to 6 sessions. All sessions are offered on a sliding scale £60 - £80 per hour.
There are a few slots available. Please read all the information before getting in touch. If you'd like to be considered, please email me on holly@hollystoppit.com with a bit about yourself and how you'd like to use these sessions. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

ONE TO ONE TESTIMONIALS
“I signed up for six sessions with Holly, during which she guided me through some creative blocks using IFS. It's always a joy and a privilege to work with Holly, and proof is in the pudding, I feel the blockages cleared and creative juju is flowing.”
- David, facilitator, writer and explorer.
"Holly listens with compassion…She has a great toolbox of skills and insights and I found working with her to be very supportive and beneficial. I feel that they have already helped me to make some shifts and changes and moving forward will continue to positively influence my decision making."
-Karen Bell - Street Theatre Performer, Clown Doctor and Facilitator.
“What I love about working with Holly is the breadth of possibility and flexibility. As a performer/theatre maker, facilitator and therapist, finding someone who can meet me in all those areas and offer curiosity and compassionate provocation is rare and valuable. Our sessions together have ranged from supervision to practical planning to deep personal process - it feels boundaried yet border-less and everything is welcome. Thank you Holly!”
-Saskia Solomons, performer/theatre maker, facilitator and therapist.
“So good I want to eat it!… And ... Thank you, Holly, for inviting me to play with you. Your magical approach gave me new perspectives on my practice - and myself! I really appreciated your empathy, creativity and insight.”
-Josie Campbell, Communications Coach
