Holly Jones, NCPS

Holly Jones is a counsellor who blends relational and practical approaches to help people navigate major life changes. She holds NCPS accreditation from the National Counselling Society and draws on six years of clinical work. Holly aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful experiences and begin to make different choices.

She commonly supports those coping with grief, childhood trauma, surviving sexual abuse, and the impact of suicide. Holly also works with anxiety, stress, addictions, mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and challenges around intimacy and self‑esteem. Midlife crisis is among the areas she lists as a concern she helps people with.

Holly has accumulated over 2,000 client hours and has experience in both the NHS and the charity sector. Her background includes volunteering with services for adult survivors of childhood abuse and current counselling work for people bereaved by suicide. She also spent over 20 years in the corporate world before retraining as a counsellor.

In sessions she moves at the client’s pace, combining acceptance, practical skills, and relational focus. That can mean practising coping strategies, clarifying values, or talking through painful memories. The aim is to build manageable steps forward rather than rush change.

How Holly’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. In practice this can mean identifying values, setting small actions, and learning ways to live with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and practising different ways of responding. That often uses simple exercises and short homework tasks to build new habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Holly will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try out methods together. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work progresses.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect without relocating. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing for remote sessions so practical progress continues even when meeting online.
