About Holly

Holly Jones NCPS is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She specialises in childhood trauma, grief, surviving sexual abuse, and the impact of suicide. Holly also helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship concerns.

Holly has over 2,000 client hours and previously worked within the NHS for more than two years. In that role she supported people with trauma, family conflict, coping with addictions and anxiety. She also volunteered with a charity for adult survivors of child sexual, physical and emotional abuse and PTSD.

She currently works for a charity providing counselling to people bereaved by suicide, focusing on trauma and complex grief. Holly combines that charity experience with time spent in corporate life before retraining as a counsellor, and she uses those varied experiences to inform her practice.

In sessions she aims to make talking about difficult material more straightforward. She invites clients to name emotions and relationship patterns. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when these fit the client's needs.

Holly is an accredited member of the National Counselling Society, NCPS. She asks new clients to use the site matching process to schedule a first appointment and to confirm the current session options before booking.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and naming emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. It is often used when people want to make sense of difficult feelings or recurring reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to use. She treats this as a collaborative process and checks in to make sure the approach feels like a good fit as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches for remote work so the focus stays on identifying feelings, changing unhelpful patterns and building practical coping strategies.
