About Holly
Holly Jones is a counsellor who uses person-centred ways of working to help people cope with deep loss, trauma and life changes. She holds NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) accreditation and draws on six years of professional practice across charity, NHS and private contexts. Holly’s style is calm and steady; she aims to make it easier to talk about painful experiences and to plan steps forward.
Holly has substantial experience supporting people who have survived childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and bereavement after suicide. She has also worked with issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflict and complex grief. That background includes more than 2,000 client hours and over two years working in the NHS alongside charity roles focused on adult survivors and those bereaved by suicide.
In sessions Holly uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioural tools and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She adapts techniques to match what someone finds most helpful, whether that means learning coping skills, exploring difficult memories, or practising different ways of relating to others.
Her aim is to create a non-judgemental space where feelings can be named and handled at the client’s pace. Holly respects how hard it is to reach out and prefers a steady, collaborative process that keeps people feeling held while they make change.
Before training as a counsellor she spent over 20 years in the corporate world and then retrained, using lived experience to inform her work. She currently combines charity roles with private practice and supports people living in the United Kingdom and internationally who contact her for help.

How Holly's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being led by them and to commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and aims to build safer ways of relating to others, which can help with intimacy and grief work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Holly will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean using practical CBT techniques some weeks and attachment-focused conversations at other times, adapting the mix as needs change.
Please confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life - it can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins where helpful, and reduce travel time. Registered and accredited professionals can use these ways of working to support people through grief, trauma and everyday stress while keeping the work focused on what the client wants to achieve.
