Jolian Ardolino, NCPS

Jolian Ardolino works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, sleep problems and life changes. He also supports those facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, cancer, ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue. He is based in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS accreditation, and brings three years of counselling and psychotherapy experience to his practice.

Jolian writes plainly and focuses on making therapy feel manageable. Sessions aim to slow things down, make sense of difficult patterns, and find small steps that fit into everyday life. He blends practical tools for managing thoughts and behaviours with space to explore emotions and values.

His approach is integrative. He draws on client-centred ways of working to create a compassionate space. Cognitive behavioural methods are used where helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people reconnect with what matters to them.

He also uses psychodynamic and relational ideas to look at repeated relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current responses. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process - the person and the counsellor decide together what to try next.

Jolian has worked in frontline services across England and Wales for national health and care charities. That background informs his understanding of people in pressured roles and those who care for others. He aims to keep sessions practical and realistically paced for busy lives.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values; it can help when life feels out of step with what matters. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive, non-judgemental space so people can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives clear strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which is useful for anxiety and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jolian treats this as a team effort and will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you will try methods and adjust them based on what helps in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes regular practice of skills simpler to slot into ordinary routines, which can help maintain progress between sessions.
