Garri Holness
Soulful Wellness Coach
Trauma Transformer
Hello, I’m Garri, an involuntary expert in Trauma, a passionate advocate for mental health and well-being. With a background in metaphysics and an NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Mental Health First Aid and Advocacy in the Workplace, I bring a unique, holistic approach to supporting my clients.
My deep understanding of both metaphysics and mental health allows me to empathise with those facing mental health challenges. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can express themselves freely. Together, we explore the underlying causes of their distress and develop personalised support plans using a variety of techniques and practices.
My mission is to empower clients to take charge of their well-being by providing practical tools and teaching essential self-care practices. This collaborative approach encourages clients to become active participants in their healing journey.
Garri employs a range of techniques and practices to develop personalised support plans tailored to each client’s needs. Here are some of the key methods used:
1. Meditation: Garri integrates meditation into support plans to help clients relax, reduce stress, and cultivate mindfulness. This practice not only enhances focus but also promotes emotional well-being.
2. Visualisation:
Guiding clients through visualisation exercises, Garri helps them envision positive outcomes and release negative emotions. This powerful tool can facilitate positive change and assist in achieving personal goals.
3. Mindfulness Exercises:
Incorporating mindfulness techniques allows clients to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and sensations in the present moment. Mindfulness promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and enhances overall mental health.
4. Positive Affirmations:
Garri encourages clients to practise positive affirmations, which involve repeating uplifting statements about themselves. This technique fosters a positive mindset and helps combat negative self-talk.
5. Journaling:
Suggesting journaling as a reflective practice, Garri enables clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. This therapeutic tool can provide clarity, promote self-reflection, and assist in managing emotions.
These are just a few examples of the techniques Garri may incorporate into personalised support plans. The specific methods used are tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of each client.
Testimony
Garri’s calm and positive outlook on life and his uplifting, bubbly personality is infectious.
When i met Garri i had been struggling physically and mentally for years and found it very hard to open up to anyone specially a stranger, but with Garri he’s understanding, empathy and kindhearted ness just draws it out of you. Always there to listen to all my problems then to give me positive advice, encouragement and to remember there is always someone worse off than you.
I am doing so much better these days, I would still be going through if it wasn’t for Garri.
Thank you for always being there.

Garri’s energy and guidance has helped me over the past 5 years as I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2022 and before that a burnout from work. Meeting with Garri regularly encouraged me to stay focused whilst fighting the battle through his words, experience and support. He gave me the tools of wisdom to get through the tough days and show me that there is light. And to accept what has happened, have gratitude and the hope to heal. Garri really listens and has empathy and understanding which helps you to open up and share your journey and to navigate it in a safe space. His energy is infectious and I feel a lot of people could learn from him. I feel grateful our paths have crossed and can now call him my friend.
