About Holly
Holly Jones, NCPS, offers practical, down-to-earth counselling for parents facing difficult times. She writes simply and listens closely so people can talk about painful memories, loss, or the daily stress of raising children. Holly aims to make the first steps easier and less overwhelming for those who are unsure about therapy.
Holly draws on six years of clinical experience and over 2,000 client hours. She previously worked in the NHS and with charities supporting adult survivors of child abuse and people bereaved by suicide.
Background and approach
That background means she is familiar with grief, trauma and the ripple effects those can have on family life. Her sessions focus on helping people manage anxiety, addiction, low mood, anger and the strain of caregiving. Parents receive help with sleep and eating problems, relationship tension, and re-establishing routines after big life changes.
Conversations are guided by what each person needs in the moment rather than a rigid programme. Holly uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She adapts techniques to suit individual needs, helping people build small, practical skills they can use at home.
The emphasis is on realistic changes that fit family life. People describe her manner as warm and non-judgemental. She aims to hold sessions at a pace clients are comfortable with and to create a space where difficult topics can be spoken about safely.
Holly welcomes international clients and runs a independent practice alongside charity work.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and to commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and making changes that fit family life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to change behaviour and mood. It suits problems like low mood, sleep or eating difficulties and managing day-to-day stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current interactions and helps people repair or strengthen close bonds. This approach is often helpful for relationship tension and parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences and current needs and then try techniques that best match those priorities. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel more like face-to-face meetings, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the move, and live chat or text-based messaging work for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around family routines, work and caring responsibilities while still working with trained therapists.
