About Jane

Jane Nicholls works with people on relationship and family concerns, self‑esteem, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. She uses an integrative approach, drawing on attachment, client‑centred, cognitive behavioural and trauma‑focused ideas. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

She offers straightforward talking therapy that focuses on what is happening now and how past patterns affect current relationships and feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational. The aim is to help clients make sense of difficulties such as panic, low mood, trouble sleeping, addictive behaviours or problems with intimacy.

Jane commonly works with issues linked to attachment, communication and abandonment. She also supports people dealing with grief, divorce and separation, domestic violence, compassion fatigue and first responder stress. She helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety, impulsivity or relationship conflict.

In session she adapts methods to the person in front of her. Client‑centred listening is combined with cognitive tools to manage symptoms, and trauma‑focused techniques when past harm continues to affect daily life. The focus is on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than jargon or labels.

Her approach suits someone who wants a counsellor who listens carefully and uses a mix of talking and practical strategies. She works in English and provides counselling in the United Kingdom. For international arrangements, clients should check current options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment‑based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect adult connections; it can help with intimacy issues, jealousy and abandonment concerns. Client‑centred counselling focuses on being listened to without judgement and helps people clarify their thoughts and values. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss your situation and goals and agree together which methods to try. That discussion is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses, based on what helps you most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check‑in appointments or letting someone choose not to use video if they prefer a quieter, lower‑bandwidth call. Many people find they can maintain regular contact that fits with work and family schedules when sessions are arranged remotely.
