About Holly

Holly Jones is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) with six years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues common in young adults such as career concerns and transitions. Holly also lists support for LGBT clients, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and other life changes.

Holly previously spent over two years working within the NHS, gaining experience with stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict and trauma. She has volunteered with a charity supporting adult survivors of childhood sexual, physical and emotional abuse and PTSD. She currently works for a charity supporting people bereaved by suicide and managing complex grief and trauma.

She runs a private practice and has logged more than 2,000 client hours. Before retraining as a counsellor she spent over 20 years in the corporate world and now draws on that background when helping people with workplace stress and career decisions. Her NCPS registration is shown as NCPS.

Holly uses practical talking therapies in session. She tends to work at the client’s pace and focuses on clear skills and strategies alongside exploring feelings linked to past events. This can include building coping skills for anxiety, managing mood swings, and addressing patterns that affect relationships or self‑esteem.

Clients can expect a straightforward approach that addresses immediate problems and longer term patterns. She supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and kink-affirming relationship issues among other topics. International clients may be accepted and sessions are offered in English.

How Holly uses online approaches and therapy methods

Holly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships. It helps people understand how early relationship experiences shape current trust, intimacy and conflict. This can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, relationship difficulties and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to use. That way sessions balance practical skills with exploring past experiences and current relationship patterns.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work shifts or commuting, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like ACT and attachment work to remote sessions, focusing on skills, exercises and reflective conversation that suit your routine.
