Thelma Jones , BACP

Thelma Jones is a BACP-accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She draws on a person-centred, nonjudgmental approach to support adults, children, and families as they work through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and other complex emotional issues.

Working in an empathetic and strengths-focused way, she aims to create a sense of belonging where people feel heard and validated. Her practice emphasizes gentle guidance and practical strategies that help clients develop coping skills, rebuild confidence, and navigate the emotional barriers that affect daily life.

Thelma values collaboration and respects that each person knows what works best for them - a principle she often sums up as the mantra "only you know what works for you." She offers a calm space for exploration, walking alongside individuals and families as they identify resources, try different approaches, and make changes at a pace that feels right. While her methods are grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, she tailors interventions to each client’s needs and goals.

Person-centred and strengths-based support online

Thelma offers person-centred therapy, a collaborative approach that prioritizes the client’s perspective and emotional experience. This method focuses on empathy, active listening, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and identity-related concerns.

She also uses a strengths-based approach that helps clients identify and build on their existing resources. This practical orientation encourages development of coping strategies, problem-solving skills, and confidence so clients can manage everyday challenges and recover from setbacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Thelma works collaboratively with each person to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to receive support from home or while traveling. These options allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while maintaining continuity of care across locations and time zones.
