About me
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? You’re not alone. Anxiety can be a heavy burden, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. I’m Jolian Ardolino, an NCPS licensed therapist passionate about helping people find relief from anxiety through supportive, accessible online therapy. My practice is designed to help you navigate the challenges of anxiety with compassion, understanding, and practical tools tailored to your needs. Whether you’re dealing with persistent anxious thoughts, stress, or just feeling ‘on edge,’ I’m here to support you on your journey toward peace and resilience.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and anxiety can look different for everyone. I work with clients to create a customized therapeutic approach that fits your unique experiences and goals. My sessions are held online, making it easy to get the help you need from the comfort of your own space—whether you’re at home, at work, or wherever feels safe and comfortable for you.
Together, we can work on:
• Reducing anxious and intrusive thoughts
• Building resilience to stress
• Enhancing self-compassion and confidence
• Managing physical symptoms of anxiety, like tension and restlessness
• Improving sleep and relaxation techniques
• Strengthening coping strategies to handle day-to-day challenges with calm and clarity
My Approach
Empathy-Driven, Evidence-Based Techniques
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep understanding of how anxiety can impact every aspect of your life. I utilise evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, both proven effective in managing anxiety. In our sessions, I’ll provide you with practical tools that you can use right away, and we’ll explore the deeper roots of your anxiety to foster long-term growth and resilience.
The goal is for you to feel supported and equipped to face anxiety in ways that work best for you, helping you regain control over your thoughts and emotions.
Why Choose Online Therapy?
Online therapy offers a unique opportunity for those managing anxiety. For many, the idea of traveling to an unfamiliar place or sitting in a waiting room can add to existing stress. With online therapy, you can access professional support without leaving your comfort zone. All you need is a quiet, private space and a device with an internet connection. Whether you’re experiencing social anxiety, generalised anxiety, or simply find in-person sessions challenging, online therapy can be a great alternative.
Who I Work With
I specialise in helping adults and young adults who experience anxiety and related issues, including stress, panic, and worry. Whether anxiety is a new challenge in your life or something you’ve been dealing with for years, I can help you create a path forward. I also welcome those who may be struggling with self-doubt, low self-esteem, or are adjusting to significant life changes that are triggering anxious feelings.
Therapy with me is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore these feelings openly and find supportive, actionable steps to manage them.
What to Expect from Our Sessions
Compassionate, Goal-Oriented Support
When you begin therapy with me, we’ll start by getting to know each other. I want to understand what brought you here, what you’re hoping to achieve, and how anxiety is impacting your life. From there, we’ll set realistic, achievable goals tailored to you.
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic environment where you can express yourself freely. I encourage clients to share at their own pace and use the space however they need—whether that’s discussing the immediate stressors of daily life, exploring past experiences, or learning new tools to manage symptoms.
Therapy Outcomes
What You Can Achieve through Therapy
My goal as a therapist is to help you reduce anxiety, improve your emotional well-being, and empower you to feel more confident in navigating life’s challenges. Therapy with me can help you:
• Develop practical coping skills for managing anxiety in real time
• Understand the underlying causes of your anxiety and how to address them
• Build healthier relationships with yourself and others
• Increase your emotional resilience and stress tolerance
• Experience greater peace, balance, and self-awareness
The journey toward managing anxiety is different for everyone, but with consistent support and practical tools, you can find relief and lasting positive change.
Training, qualifications & experience
When anxiety begins to overshadow daily life, having someone who understands its complexities can make all the difference. I’m here to offer that understanding, combined with practical, proven approaches designed to help you find calm and confidence in your own way.
Professional Background and Commitment to Learning
My approach is grounded in rigorous training and a genuine commitment to helping clients. I hold a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, an MSc (Res) in Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. With a dedication to continued learning, I’ve expanded my expertise to include Gestalt Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Bereavement Therapy, as well as tools for overcoming guilt and shame. These ongoing studies allow me to continually offer the most effective methods for those managing anxiety.
Diverse Experience That Enriches My Practice
Over the years, I’ve supported individuals facing various life challenges, from leading anxiety management groups to working as an Independent Mental Health Advocate in psychiatric hospitals. These roles have shaped my perspective, allowing me to see how anxiety impacts people in unique and deeply personal ways. I’ve worked with adults with learning disabilities, managed services for individuals affected by cancer and dementia, and provided bereavement support. Each experience has deepened my respect for the resilience of those I work with and reinforced the importance of a person-centred, compassionate approach.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Alongside my focus on anxiety, I’m deeply committed to supporting those navigating the challenges of long-term and life-limiting health conditions, such as dementia and cancer, as well as those experiencing bereavement. Life transitions and losses can bring a range of emotions and unique difficulties, and I approach these with sensitivity and respect for each person’s journey. In these areas, I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches, aiming to provide tailored support that acknowledges both the complexity of grief and the resilience it calls upon.
Whether it’s finding ways to cope, making sense of difficult experiences, or building a new sense of balance, my goal is to help clients feel supported and understood through life’s toughest times.
