About Jane

Jane Francis works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and grief using a person-centred style of counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of professional experience.

Jane offers a calm, listening approach where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. She uses person-centred methods to help people talk through what matters to them and to make sense of their feelings. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and to find practical ways forward for day-to-day life.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationship feelings are a central concern, and on mindfulness techniques to help with ongoing anxiety and stress. Solution-focused strategies are used when people want short-term planning and clear steps to try between sessions. Internal Family Systems is part of her toolbox for working with conflicting parts of the self.

Her background includes specialist training in understanding autism and certification as an ADHD coach, plus work with issues around grief and loss. Jane has experience supporting people who are dealing with chronic illness, body image concerns, communication or control issues, and adoption or abandonment themes.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Jane explains options and helps set practical goals, while respecting the client's own priorities. To begin, people select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jane uses person-centred (also known as client-centred) counselling which focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client's lead to build understanding and self-direction. This approach helps with low mood, self-esteem and general stress by letting people explore feelings at their own pace.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address strong relationship feelings and attachment themes, which can help when people want to address patterns in close relationships. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce immediate stress and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jane will discuss different methods, consider your goals and preferences, and agree a plan that fits what you want to achieve. This is a collaborative process and options can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify which session formats she offers, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer similar therapeutic benefits remotely, and Jane will help find a practical way of working that suits your life.
