About Jane

Jane Collings is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns including codependency. She draws on nine years of professional experience and works to make it easier to say what feels hard to say. Her approach aims to be simple and direct so people can take small steps forward.

In sessions she focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. She encourages people to notice patterns that cause pain and to try new ways of coping. Conversations are practical and down to earth, with attention to what matters most day to day.

Jane is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is shown as BACP. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support work on issues such as grief, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy and eating concerns. Her background includes helping people with attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and struggles around control and emptiness.

She believes change often begins with small, steady shifts. Sessions are tailored to the person and move at a pace they can manage. Jane aims to support clients who want clearer boundaries, healthier relationships, or help managing difficult emotions.

If you are thinking about starting, she asks people to think about what they want to try differently and to bring that to the first conversation.

How therapeutic approaches and online work can fit together

Jane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and change unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps; this suits issues like anxiety, stress, and codependency. Another approach looks at how early attachments and abandonment experiences shape current relationships and self-esteem, helping people work through long-standing hurt and rebuild trust in themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together decide which techniques to try first. Sessions can be adapted over time so the work stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also make it simpler to keep regular contact while juggling work, care and everyday life, helping therapeutic work continue steadily between other commitments.
