Holly bush sparse patch

We have a large holly bush that serves as the back fence of our garden. It looks great on either side but very sparse in the middle, is there a way to thicken it up? I've been pruning so it's the right shape it just needs a bit more... volume? So I can't see through it!

...I realise a photo might be helpful, so if anyone's interested I can post one in the morning!

I have the same problem with an inherited holly. So far I’ve been restricting the top grown and pruning side shoots, lightly.
Gaps still seem to be there. I suspect neighbour on the other side is cutting her bits so she can peep through! 😁
