A warm welcome.....

About Me

I’m LJ Jones- a counsellor, author, and speaker specialising in childhood trauma, family dynamics, and conscious parenting.

My work is rooted in one core belief: healing ourselves is one of the most powerful ways we protect and support the next generation. I work with adults, parents, and families who want to break cycles of emotional pain, increase self-awareness, and build healthier, more connected relationships- with their children and with themselves.

​

My Approach

I practise from a trauma-informed, person-centred foundation, meaning our work is collaborative, compassionate, and paced around you. I don’t believe in “fixing” people- I believe in creating safety, insight, and healing so that genuine change can take place.

​

Much of my work focuses on:

• Healing from emotionally unavailable, critical, or narcissistic parents

• Understanding how childhood experiences shape adult relationships and parenting

• Supporting parents to raise emotionally secure, resilient children

• Helping individuals regulate their nervous system, process grief, and rebuild self-worth

​

My style is warm, grounded, and honest. I hold space gently, while also helping clients make sense of patterns that may have been sabotaging them for years.

​

My Experience

Like many people drawn to this field, my interest in emotional well-being didn’t come from textbooks alone. It grew from lived experiences of my own, and raising two daughters.

I have since gained over a decade of experience working closely with individuals and families who carried pain they never had words for as children.

I have worked with clients from over thirty nationalities and across diverse cultural, religious, and family systems. This has deepened my respect for nuance, and reinforced that emotional needs are universal, even when they’re expressed differently.

Now, as a parent of two adult daughters myself, I understand on a deeply personal level how complex, confronting, and meaningful parenting can be. Conscious parenting is not about perfection- it’s about awareness, repair, and choosing connection.

​

Beyond the Therapy Room

I am the author of 'Become The Parent You Needed', a parenting book focused on healing childhood trauma and reparenting in order to raise emotionally secure children without repeating harmful patterns. My writing is an extension of my therapeutic work- accessible, compassionate, and grounded in real-life experiences rather than ideals.

I’ve also contributed to international publications, including Marie Claire Maison Italia, Huffpost UK, The Telegraph, HELLO! magazine and many more.I am often invited to speak and write on topics related to trauma, emotional intelligence, and modern parenting.

Working With Me

Whether you’re seeking therapy, guidance as a parent, or deeper self-understanding and trauma healing, my intention is always the same: to help you feel seen, steady, and empowered as you move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. You just need a safe place to start.
