Background and approach

Her background includes short-term counselling and longer-term therapy, and she has supported people with a wide range of presenting issues. Jane is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her style is calm and non-judgemental.

She creates space to talk through feelings, patterns and practical steps. Sessions can focus on noticing bodily reactions, thoughts or relationship patterns and finding small, manageable changes. Jane uses somatic work alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people connect body and mind.

She also draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches when these fit the person’s needs. She offers online options including video, phone and messaging. International clients may be supported in English.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the process provided. With nearly three decades of practice, Jane brings steady experience and a practical focus to counselling. Her aim is to help people understand their situation and find ways to move forward with greater confidence and hope.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online therapy

Somatic-informed work helps people notice and work with physical sensations linked to stress or trauma. Online sessions can include gentle guidance to track breathing, posture or tension and then explore what those sensations mean in everyday life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and values-based actions. It can help when anxiety, low mood or life changes are making it hard to move forward by clarifying what matters and trying small committed steps.

Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape current patterns. That perspective supports people struggling with intimacy, abandonment or trust by identifying repeated reactions and trying different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match the person’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face contact, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice only, and live chat or text messaging gives a written option for shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to continue work from different locations.
