About Holly
Holly Jones is a counsellor and member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) who works with people facing trauma, grief and the effects of sexual abuse. She draws on six years of clinical experience and more than 2,000 client hours to guide conversations and practical steps forward. Holly’s approach is steady and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel more able to cope day to day.
Holly previously worked in the NHS for over two years, supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict and trauma. She also volunteered with a charity for adult survivors of childhood sexual, physical and emotional abuse, and now works with a charity that supports those bereaved by suicide. Those roles have shaped her focus on trauma, complex grief and recovery after abuse.
Her earlier life in the corporate sector for more than 20 years informs a practical style of counselling. She uses that background to help people manage work-related strain, career questions and balancing life demands. Holly tends to move at the client’s pace and keeps sessions grounded and manageable.
In sessions she creates space for honest conversation without judgement. She supports people to name what matters, try new ways of coping and build small, realistic steps toward change. Holly emphasises empathy, safety and clear collaboration throughout the process.
Holly asks people to get in touch to arrange a first meeting and to choose a suitable time for sessions. She accepts clients internationally and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take small steps toward them while also learning to notice painful thoughts without letting them control actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current emotional responses and helps people make different choices in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and can adapt approaches as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist agree on aims and review progress together.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around day-to-day life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It can also help people keep therapy in place while moving between locations or managing work commitments.
