About Holly
Holly Jones offers counselling using a person-centred, practical approach. She draws on several evidence-based methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, grief and the effects of trauma. Holly aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on small, useful steps.
She introduces tools and ideas that people can try between appointments. Holly has six years of professional experience and carries the NCPS credential. She spent over two years working within the NHS, supporting people with stress, addictions, family conflict and trauma.
How Holly works
She also volunteered with a charity supporting adult survivors of child sexual, physical and emotional abuse. Currently Holly works with a charity specialising in loss to suicide, addressing PTSD, trauma and complex grief. She also runs a independent practice and has completed more than 2,000 client hours.
That blend of public, voluntary and personal work gives her experience with many different life situations. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person. She focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings.
Sessions often include practical exercises drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Holly also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, body image and work-related stress. Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, caregiving stress and issues around kink and alternative sexual culture.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are welcome. Holly encourages people to take the first step by completing a short questionnaire and arranging a first appointment.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and then focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with low mood, worry and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses, which can be helpful for intimacy issues and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. Holly works together with each person to try different ideas and agree what fits best with their goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the plan stays practical and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, parenting and care responsibilities. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions or live chat can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions and can fit around busy schedules. Registered and accredited professionals provide these options so people can choose what works for them.
