About Thelma
Thelma Jones is a counsellor with a Bachelor of Arts in social work and a Dip counselling who holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings a practical, person-centred style to sessions. Thelma aims to create a calm environment so people feel heard and understood when they are stressed or anxious.
She draws on decades of social work experience to help people facing trauma, grief and relationship strain.
Background and approach
Her background includes many years working with children in social work roles, and she now applies that experience to support adults as well. Thelma uses gentle guidance and a strengths-based outlook to help people identify what helps them cope. Thelma works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, family and relationship issues, trauma and LGBT-related matters.
She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress and the fallout from separation or divorce. Her approach is practical and steady rather than highly technical. In sessions she focuses on listening first, then helping people try small, workable changes that fit their life.
Coping skills, clearer communication and rebuilding confidence are common aims. Thelma prefers collaboration - she helps clients try ideas and then adjusts them according to what actually works. People who want a down-to-earth counsellor often appreciate her background in social work and person-centred practice.
She accepts international clients and works in English. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Approaches that guide online counselling
Thelma uses person-centred work that places the client’s experience at the heart of each session. This approach involves active listening and reflection so people feel understood before they try changes; it is useful for anxiety, grief and relationship worries.She also brings practical, strengths-based techniques that focus on building coping skills and day-to-day routines. These methods help with stress management, low mood and trauma-related symptoms by identifying small steps a person can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try techniques and adjust what they do based on what helps. This collaborative stance means the plan evolves to suit each person’s needs and preferences.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions let people keep face-to-face contact, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
