Holly Jones , NCPS

Holly Jones is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people get through difficult periods. She brings six years of experience and an NCPS credential to her work. Holly speaks English and supports people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Holly focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. Women's issues are a stated area she works with, and she also supports people coping with loss related to suicide. Her background includes more than two years working within the NHS and volunteer work with a charity for adult survivors of childhood abuse. She has also provided counselling for those bereaved by suicide and runs a private practice, bringing together over 2,000 client hours of experience. In sessions she aims to build a non-judgemental space where people can speak freely and feel heard. She takes the pace of each person, helping them feel held while they talk through painful memories or current struggles. Practical tools and straightforward conversations are used alongside gentle support. Holly draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, cognitive and dialectical skills, and a client-centred attitude. She encourages small, achievable steps and works collaboratively to set goals. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions guided by their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and managing emotions. Holly views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about symptoms, goals and what feels most helpful, and then agree on small steps to try together. Sessions can mix listening, practical exercises and skill-building so the plan can change as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer therapeutic work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between calls or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options help people keep therapy going around work, family or travel commitments and make it easier to try different formats as needs change.
