About Holly

Holly Jones is a counsellor with six years' experience who focuses on practical, human-centred therapy. She holds NCPS as a credential and works in the United Kingdom. Holly aims to make the first step less daunting and supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, relationships, grief or trauma.

Holly draws on therapies that help people notice what matters and build on their strengths. She uses straightforward tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle anxiety, depression and coping skills. Attachment-based ideas shape how she addresses relationship patterns and the effects of early loss or abandonment.

Her background includes over 2,000 client hours, time working within the NHS, and voluntary work with survivors of childhood sexual, physical and emotional abuse. She also counsels people affected by suicide and complex grief for a charity, bringing direct experience of trauma-related issues.

Holly previously worked in the corporate sector for more than 20 years before retraining. That experience informs a practical, empathetic approach to coaching, career stress and compassion fatigue. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on concrete steps that can be tried between meetings.

People contact her about a wide range of concerns including addictions, parenting strain, adoption and foster care issues, body image, eating or sleeping problems, ADHD and relationship intimacy. Holly describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people feel safer, clearer and more able to make choices that suit their lives.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing new ways of thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and compulsive patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop safer ways of relating to others and themselves. This approach can be helpful where abandonment, attachment issues or complex grief are relevant.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as you go.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking so you know how sessions will run. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still using the same therapeutic tools discussed above.
