About Holly

Holly Jones is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) with six years' experience. She works across issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Holly spent over two years working in the NHS, providing support for people coping with anxiety, addiction, family conflict and trauma. She has also volunteered with a charity for adult survivors of child sexual, physical and emotional abuse, and now works with a charity supporting people bereaved by suicide. Her background includes more than 2,000 client hours and previous senior roles in the corporate sector for over 20 years.

Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on clear tools and steady emotional work rather than jargon.

In practice she helps people unpack how past experiences affect present reactions. That includes working through attachment and abandonment issues, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and the effects of complex grief. She also supports people with body image, eating or sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD or bipolar mood patterns.

Holly aims to make the first steps less daunting by pacing work to each person’s needs. She invites clients to talk openly about their feelings and to build practical coping skills. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and problems that come from getting stuck in unhelpful patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns, especially around intimacy, abandonment fears and close relationships. It supports understanding and changing how people relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying practical skills, reflecting on relationship patterns, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and behavioural tasks to work in remote sessions to help manage stress, codependency-related patterns, grief and trauma-related symptoms.
