About Holly
Holly Jones is a counsellor who uses compassionate, practical therapy to help people manage fear, anxiety and life changes. She holds NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS, and brings six years of experience supporting people through difficult events. Holly keeps language simple and focuses on what matters to each person.
She often helps people who are coping with trauma, grief and the aftermath of sexual abuse, and has worked with issues connected to suicide and complex bereavement.
Background and approach
Holly also supports those facing stress, addictions, relationship strains, sleep and eating difficulties, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar. She has particular interest in attachment concerns, abandonment and the effects of adoption and foster care. Her background includes more than 2,000 client hours and over two years working in the NHS.
She has volunteered with a charity supporting adult survivors of childhood abuse and currently works with a charity offering counselling to people bereaved by suicide. That mix of settings informs a practical, empathetic style. In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can say what they need to.
Conversations are paced to suit the client and focused on building coping skills, clearer thinking and stronger emotional regulation. Holly draws on straightforward approaches rather than jargon. Before counselling she spent over 20 years in the corporate world and later retrained, using life experience to shape her practice.
She invites people to take small steps toward greater wellbeing and will work with them to find what helps most.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It encourages identifying values and taking small, value-led steps, which can help with anxiety, phobias and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, sleep and eating issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with emphasis on distress tolerance and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Holly will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted as needs change during therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging works well for ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines, quieter surroundings and varying comfort levels with being on camera.
