Thelma Jones, BACP

Thelma Jones is a counsellor who uses person-centred methods to help people work through stress, grief and relationship difficulties. She draws on a long background in social work alongside counselling skills to offer calm, practical support. Thelma holds BACP and presents as approachable and steady in sessions.

She has decades of experience in children’s social work and therapeutic social work roles, and she brings that perspective into conversations with adults. Her work focuses on everyday problems such as anxiety, depression, family tensions and the impact of trauma and loss. She also supports people facing caregiver stress and issues related to ageing and bereavement.

Thelma aims for a non-judgemental space where people feel heard and understood. Conversations are guided by the client’s pace and priorities, and she offers straightforward strategies alongside reflective listening. This includes practical coping skills and ways to rebuild confidence after difficult events.

Her approach highlights strengths and what already works for the person in front of her. Thelma encourages clients to try small changes and notices progress together. She works with concerns about identity and LGBT matters, as well as attachment and communication difficulties.

She accepts international clients and conducts work from the United Kingdom. Thelma asks new people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

Person-centred support and practical strategies online

Person-centred work focuses on the client's experience and choice. It means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people make decisions that feel right for them. This approach is often helpful for stress, grief, relationship worries and identity concerns.

Life-coaching style guidance uses goal-focused conversation and small practical steps. It helps when someone wants to build coping skills, regain confidence or plan next steps after a major life change. Both approaches aim to be straightforward and grounded in what the person already does well.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be explored together. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to attend from different locations and to schedule shorter check-ins alongside other responsibilities. Since formats were not specified in the biography, confirm available session types with the service before booking so arrangements match individual needs and daily routines.
