About Thelma

Thelma Jones works in a person-centred way, offering calm, practical support for people facing loss, trauma and difficult relationships. She draws on a long background in social work and counselling to help clients make sense of strong emotions and find steps forward. Thelma trained in social work and holds a Diploma in counselling.

She is a member of the BACP, which she lists as a professional credential. Her practice emphasises listening, validation and working at each person’s pace.

Background and approach

She spent many years in children’s social work and therapeutic social work roles. That experience shaped her approach to grief, trauma and family-related problems. She uses simple, practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage day-to-day stress.

Thelma helps people talk through relationship worries and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with bereavement, past abuse, identity concerns and low mood. Her work often focuses on rebuilding confidence and practical coping skills.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Thelma encourages people to notice strengths and try small changes between sessions. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, intended to help people feel heard and more able to cope.

Clients can expect a steady, step-by-step process. Thelma offers guidance, listening and tools to manage difficult feelings while clients set their own goals.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Thelma lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approach and online therapy options

Thelma’s main working style is person-centred care, which means sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for issues such as grief, low mood and relationship worries because it creates space to talk and recover at your own pace.

Her background in social work informs a practical, needs-led way of working. That translates into short-term strategies for managing anxiety and day-to-day stress, alongside deeper conversations about trauma and loss when needed. These techniques aim to help clients build coping skills and regain confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor sessions to a person’s goals, preferences and circumstances. This is a collaborative process where the client helps decide what feels most helpful.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Text and live chat suit shorter updates, brief coaching-style interactions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
