About Jane

Jane Stevens helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She uses talk-based and body-aware approaches and aims to work at each person's pace. Jane is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience.

Jane offers straightforward, practical support. Sessions look at current difficulties and the patterns that keep them going. She draws on client-centred listening to help people feel heard, and on attachment ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and reactions.

Her background includes several years working with teenagers and adults across different settings. She also has substantial experience supporting people on the autism spectrum with emotional and communication challenges. Jane uses somatic methods when helpful, paying attention to bodily signals as part of understanding stress and trauma.

In practice she first listens to what is most pressing, then agrees focused steps with the person. That may involve exploring difficult memories, noticing patterns in relationships, or learning ways to manage panic and overwhelming feelings. Sessions are intended to be steady and manageable, with practical skills alongside emotional work.

People often come for help with specific problems such as panic attacks, isolation or midlife change. Jane also works with issues linked to identity and body image, including gender dysphoria and shame. Her approach is consistent and centred on the person's stated goals.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Jane commonly uses attachment-based therapy and somatic methods in her work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour and can help with anxiety, abandonment issues and relationship difficulties. Somatic therapy pays attention to body sensations and movement to identify stress responses and support regulation after trauma or during panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor discusses the person's needs, goals and preferences and they decide collaboratively which methods to try and when to adjust them.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments and can reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that helps with concentration or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and somatic practices for remote sessions so practical steps fit into everyday life.
