About Jane

Jane Evans works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and a wide range of other concerns using talking therapy and practical psychological approaches. She is a BACP counsellor with 28 years' experience in mental health care.

Jane's background covers schools, further education, universities, private practice, the voluntary sector and employee assistance programmes. She has supported people in both short-term counselling and longer-term therapy. Many people come because they are finding feelings or experiences hard to understand or manage; she helps them clarify what is happening and find ways forward.

Her work draws on methods that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns and improve relationships. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside exploring feelings and attachment patterns. She also uses approaches that look at thoughts, behaviour and emotional bonds to support change.

Jane has a long record of work with professionals and organisations as well as individuals. She has provided consultancy and training for services developing e-counselling and has supervised counsellors online.

She has been an active member of sector groups involved in online counselling and organised conferences on the topic.

How Jane uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that reflect their values; it can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and attachment-related struggles.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's experience and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where they can speak openly and be listened to; this approach supports a wide range of concerns from grief to self‑esteem. Jane will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's needs and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy life and offering different ways to meet. Her biography notes that she currently offers instant messaging, webcam or voice (telephone) sessions, so people can choose the format that fits their routine and comfort. If you need specific session arrangements, confirm the current options before booking so you know which formats are available.
