About Thelma
Thelma Jones is a counsellor with a Diploma in counselling and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on long experience in social work and life coaching to provide calm, practical help. Thelma aims to create a non-judgemental space where people feel heard and understood.
She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on each person’s own strengths and choices.

Thelma offers gentle guidance and practical strategies so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
Her background includes many years as a children’s social work practitioner and therapeutic social worker, alongside training in life coaching. That experience informs how she supports people through grief, trauma, loss, relationship problems and ongoing stress. She has worked with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and caregiving strain.
Thelma also helps with anxiety, depression and concerns common in LGBT communities. She supports people dealing with family conflict, separation and the emotional aftermath of abuse. Her work can include exploring body image, communication difficulties and commitment concerns.
Sessions are aimed at helping clients build coping skills, regain confidence and move forward at their own pace. Thelma describes her role as walking alongside people, offering steady support while they find what works best for them.
How person-centred work translates to online counselling
Thelma’s practice is rooted in person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find what works for them. In this approach the counsellor reflects back what matters most to the client, helping them clarify feelings and choices. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship worries.Her wider experience in social work and life coaching means she often combines that listening with practical strategies. Those techniques include building day-to-day coping skills and pacing change so clients can try small steps between sessions. This blend can help people dealing with trauma, caregiving stress or attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Thelma will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the focus as things change.
