About Jane

Jane Kelly works in a client-centred way, putting the person's experience and perspective at the centre of sessions. She uses a person-led style to help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and life changes. Jane is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Her practice focuses on talking through what matters most to the individual. Sessions are shaped by what the person brings, with practical steps discussed when helpful. She draws on approaches that look at attachment patterns, personal narratives and short-term solutions to support clearer thinking and decision making.

Jane works with a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, grief, career doubts, identity questions for LGBT people, and difficulties with self-esteem. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, or challenges linked to ageing and bereavement. Communication and commitment issues are a further area of focus.

Her methods include mindfulness techniques to manage stress and grounding for emotional regulation. Narrative work helps people untangle the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-focused conversations aim to identify small, practical changes that can be tried between sessions.

In practice she aims for a straightforward, respectful working relationship where individuals lead the pace and goals. People usually find the approach useful when they want to understand patterns in relationships, cope with loss, or manage anxiety day to day.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Jane uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current feelings. This helps when trust, abandonment or communication problems are a main concern.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions follow what the person brings and the counsellor listens without directing the story. This is useful for people who want a gentle, person-led process to talk through grief, identity or self-esteem issues.

Mindfulness methods are offered to help manage stress and strong emotions through breathing and grounding exercises that can be practised between meetings. These techniques are helpful for anxiety, anger and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods to use based on needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and can be revisited as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, but check which formats are offered when you book.
