About Jane
Jane Nicholls is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults facing relationship and family concerns, along with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and parenting. Sessions are offered in English and aim to help people make sense of what is happening in their lives.
Jane uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. That means conversations focus on what is useful for the person in front of her. She will listen to how past experiences affect day-to-day relationships and the patterns that keep causing pain.
In practice, sessions are straightforward. Jane invites people to describe their worries, then they map out small steps to try between meetings. Conversations often look at attachment and early relationship dynamics, current thinking patterns, and responses to upsetting events.
She also works with the practical side of life changes. This can include coping strategies for stress, approaches for managing sleep and eating concerns, or clearer ways to raise difficult topics with others. When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, she uses trauma-focused ideas alongside other methods.
Jane aims to help people reduce isolation and restore clearer communication with those around them. She supports individuals dealing with grief, anger, compulsive behaviours and issues linked to control or trust. If someone wants to begin, the usual first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
Fees vary by location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How Jane applies therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps when people notice repeating patterns in how they get close to others or pull away during conflict. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting. That means the conversation follows the client's concerns and builds from what feels most important now. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts, feelings and actions into manageable parts. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and habits that someone wants to change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jane will work collaboratively to agree what to try first and check in about how the methods are working. Goals and preferences guide which ideas are prioritised and adjusted over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The practical advantages of online meetings include fitting appointments around work and childcare, fewer journeys, and the option to choose shorter check-ins when time is limited. Some approaches, such as CBT exercises and attachment-based conversations, adapt well to remote sessions; Jane will discuss how a particular session could be structured to suit everyday life.
