About Jane
Counsellor Jane Nicholls is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She helps people in the United Kingdom with relationship concerns, stress and anxiety, depression, grief, parenting matters and other life changes.
Jane offers a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions are calm and based on talking and listening. She uses a mix of methods and adapts what she does to each person rather than following one rigid model.
Her work often centres on attachment and how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thinking and behaviour, and trauma-focused ideas when past events are affecting day-to-day life. These approaches are blended in a way that suits the individual.
Jane commonly helps people with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues and intimacy-related difficulties. She also supports those dealing with addictions, sleep or eating problems, career stress, compassion fatigue and first responder issues.
Practical discussions are part of sessions. That can include coping strategies for stress and tools to manage overwhelming thoughts or emotions. Jane pays attention to what matters most to the person in front of her and works at a steady pace.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Jane uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach talks about trust, closeness and repeating relationship behaviours and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment and communication problems.She also uses client-centred techniques which focus on listening and helping the person find their own understanding. This is useful when someone needs time to talk things through and work out what matters to them.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match your needs, goals and preferences. That choice happens together rather than being decided before the first session.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful when quieter surroundings or not being on camera make taking part simpler. Registered or accredited professionals usually discuss practical arrangements at first contact to make sure sessions fit into everyday life.
