About Thelma
Thelma Jones is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years recorded experience as a counsellor. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She also lists family issues among her focus areas.
Thelma describes a person-centred way of working. She listens and helps people put words to what they are feeling. Sessions include practical suggestions and space to talk through difficult emotions without judgement.
Her background also includes long experience in children’s social work and therapeutic social work. That history shapes how she notices family patterns and the ways everyday roles and care responsibilities affect mood and behaviour. She draws on that experience when people talk about blended family issues, caregiver stress, or navigating separation.
Thelma helps people learn coping skills and small strategies that can be used day to day. She supports exploration of attachment and abandonment concerns, control and communication problems, and issues such as body image or the effects of trauma. The work can cover both recent problems and longer standing difficulties.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Thelma aims to help people develop confidence in their own choices and to make changes at a sustainable pace. If someone wants to start, they are invited to use the site's matching and booking process to arrange an initial appointment.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions are handled
Thelma describes her work as person centred with practical strategies. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says, which helps people clarify feelings and priorities. She also emphasises strengths-based techniques that identify existing coping skills and build on them to handle stress, grief and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with the client to decide which simple techniques and conversational focus suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit around work or family commitments, remove travel time, and can make shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Discussing what will work practically for meeting times and length of sessions is part of the initial planning when booking.
