About Holly

Holly Jones is a counsellor who focuses on trauma, grief and the long-term effects of abuse. She draws on six years of professional practice and more than 2,000 client hours to help people manage overwhelming feelings and find steadier ground. Holly works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English, including to international clients.

Her background includes work inside the NHS and several charities supporting adult survivors of childhood sexual and physical abuse. She currently provides counselling for people affected by suicide loss and complex grief, and has supported people through anxiety, addictions and family conflict. Holly’s earlier corporate career also informs her practical approach to life and work challenges.

In sessions she aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space. She moves at a client’s pace and focuses on what feels safe for each person. The work often includes looking at difficult memories, shifting unhelpful patterns, and developing coping strategies for everyday life.

Holly uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her. These include acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour work. She helps people understand options and pick approaches that fit their goals.

Her NCPS credential stands for membership of the National Counselling Society. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a time that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches that inform online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them. It supports finding personal values and taking small steps towards a life that feels meaningful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and safety in later connections, and it can help with trust, intimacy-related worries and long-standing relational patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and which ideas feel most helpful. Together they decide what to try first and adapt the plan over time as needs and goals become clearer.

The biography does not specify which online formats Holly uses, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make regular work easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward for people outside the local area to work with registered or accredited professionals. Practical benefits include greater scheduling flexibility and the chance to apply new skills in everyday settings between sessions.
