About Holly

Holly Jones is a counsellor and an accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) with six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She has worked in the NHS and within charities, and she notes experience supporting people through childhood trauma, grief, and the effects of sexual abuse. Her background includes more than 2,000 client hours and work with people affected by suicide-related loss.

Holly focuses on practical, straightforward talking therapy. She helps people address anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people managing long-term conditions, caregiving stress, body image concerns, and neurodiversity-related questions such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Her approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Sessions aim to clarify what is most pressing, build coping skills, and test small changes that can be used at home. She combines lived experience and previous corporate experience with her counselling practice.

Holly has provided counselling within the NHS for over two years and has volunteered with services for adult survivors of childhood abuse. She currently provides support through a charity for people bereaved by suicide, and continues to work with people affected by trauma and complex grief.

Her practical style suits people who want clear steps and steady pacing. She asks clients to set the pace and focuses on concrete tools for daily life. To begin, readers are invited to use the online matching and scheduling route on the site.

How sessions work

How Holly’s approaches work for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning small steps that feel meaningful. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and decisions that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. It can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship strain. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the client’s experience and follows the person’s pace, offering reflective listening and practical support for day-to-day problems.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Holly will discuss goals and trial approaches together. She aims to be collaborative, matching methods to what the client needs and prefers rather than imposing a single model.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or caring responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time after a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find remote sessions helpful for maintaining steady support while juggling everyday life.
