Vicky Bond Jones, NCPS

Vicky Bond Jones helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain and low self-esteem. She offers a steady, warm presence for those who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Vicky uses simple, honest conversation to help people understand what’s happening and find practical next steps.

Vicky works in a collaborative, person-centred way. She listens without judgement and follows the pace set by the person in the room. Conversations aim to build understanding, calm intense feelings and create realistic coping strategies.

She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help uncover repeating patterns from the past that affect current relationships and moods. These approaches are blended into sessions according to what each person needs.

Vicky completed a Level 3 Diploma in Hypnotherapy and an Introduction to Counselling Skills, a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory, and a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice. Her credential NCPS is shown after her name.

Her background includes work with a charity supporting young people and parents, and experience in a secondary school setting. Vicky aims to make sessions practical and understandable, helping people build resilience and clearer ways of coping.

Sessions are shaped around the individual. Vicky checks in regularly to make sure the work feels helpful and relevant. She invites questions and explains how techniques will be used before trying them out.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens attentively, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. In straightforward exercises clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking, test it and try small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT works well for stress, anxiety and practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Vicky will discuss options and agree what to try based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She takes a collaborative approach and reviews progress so changes can be made when something is not helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions can be used when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed, and live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or school commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy.
