How Jane works
Before qualifying she worked in the tourist industry and local government, roles that developed her people skills and curiosity about how life events shape us. Her approach is flexible. She draws on a mix of methods so the work fits each person.
Sessions stay client-led, with the counsellor guiding and offering tools while the person sets the pace. In sessions Jane helps people spot strengths that have become hard to see. She offers straightforward strategies for coping, communication and managing painful thoughts.
She will also use mindfulness and acceptance ideas when these suit the person’s needs. People come for short-term help with a single issue or for longer work when life feels stuck. Jane aims to help people build resilience and practical routines that support everyday functioning.
The focus is on clear, usable steps rather than theory.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety and coping with difficult situations.Jane works collaboratively to find the best fit. She will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that suit your needs. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the plan as you go along so the work stays relevant and helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face style work when more connection is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions around work, caregiving or other commitments.
