About Jane

Jane Evans is a counsellor with decades of experience helping people who are struggling to find a way forward. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and issues around identity and intimacy. Jane aims to offer calm, steady support so people feel heard and able to begin making small changes.

She has worked in schools, further education, universities, private practice and employee assistance programmes. Her practice includes both short-term counselling and longer-term therapy. Jane describes her approach as non-judgemental and inclusive, and she draws on the BACP Ethical Framework in her work.

Her clinical style blends several approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives. Attachment-based work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform her attention to relationships and emotional patterns.

Jane has offered online and face-to-face counselling since the mid-1990s and has experience supervising and training other practitioners. She has been involved in developing online counselling and was active in sector groups and conferences focused on digital practice.

Sessions aim to help people understand their experiences and find manageable ways to cope. Practical conversation, reflective listening and agreed actions are used in line with each person’s goals. Anyone considering work with Jane is asked to use the Start Therapy flow to match and book.

How Jane’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps that match those values. Online sessions can focus on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising short behavioural experiments between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. This can include homework tasks that suit a client's routine. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating and feeling safe in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jane works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. Choices are reviewed over time and adjusted if something isn’t working, so clients play an active role in shaping their plan of work.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life and avoiding travel time. Online work also makes it simple to try brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what suits the week. The biography notes online counselling is available via instant messaging, webcam or voice (telephone); confirm the exact formats offered when booking to match them to your everyday routine.
