About Jolian Ardolino
He often meets people who have been holding everything together for everyone else until they can no longer keep going. Outwardly calm and capable, they arrive with a long list of responsibilities, frayed sleep, and a persistent sense of being disconnected from themselves. Jolian Ardolino recognises how a racing mind, constant to-do lists, and difficulty resting can leave someone feeling distant from work, short with loved ones, and worried about how long they can maintain the pace.
Jolian is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist accredited by the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has led frontline services across England and Wales for national health and care charities, seeing how prolonged emotional labour and stretched systems affect practitioners, managers, and leaders. That experience shapes his understanding of burnout, anxiety, health-related worry, and panic, and informs a practical, compassionate approach to support.
He practises in an integrative way, shaping sessions around each person rather than forcing a single model. He draws on person-centred methods to create emotional safety and recognise individual strengths, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address anxious thoughts and patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help reconnect with values and find balance, and psychodynamic and relational insights to explore deeper relationship patterns.
Jolian holds a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, an MSc (Res) in Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. The Level 5 diploma indicates advanced professional training in therapeutic practice, the MSc (Res) denotes postgraduate research training in psychological topics, and the BSc (Hons) is an undergraduate degree in psychology. His work focuses on slowing down the noise, making sense of what is happening, and finding practical, sustainable ways forward that fit a person’s life and pace.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then clarifying what matters most so small, meaningful steps can follow. It is useful for people struggling with persistent stress, avoidance, or a sense of disconnection from their values.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where the person’s own strengths and pace guide the work. This approach can help people who need empathy, understanding, and support to explore emotions and build self-trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that maintain anxiety, low mood, or sleep disruption. It offers practical tools and exercises for managing symptoms and testing new ways of thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jolian works collaboratively with people to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility to meet from home, work, or elsewhere by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to arrange appointments around busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward practical, meaningful change.
