About Jane

Jane Francis is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, person-centred way of working. She meets people with warmth and respect and moves at a pace that feels comfortable. Jane aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings and take steps towards feeling more able in everyday life.

She uses simple, practical conversations to help clients understand what is driving stress, anxiety or low mood. Counselling is used to reflect on patterns, build self-compassion and try new ways of coping. Jane also works with people facing grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges and codependency concerns.

Jane has seven years of professional experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on a variety of approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than offering a fixed programme.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps that can be taken between meetings. Jane emphasises gentleness and clear thinking while helping people let go of unhelpful habits and build new ways of coping.

She also brings additional experience working with adoption and foster care issues, attachment and autism-related concerns, chronic illness, body image and communication difficulties. People who choose her can expect a tailored plan that reflects their goals and pace.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own answers, which can work well when talking about stress, relationships or low self-esteem.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift difficult emotions in the moment. It is often useful when strong feelings get in the way of relating to others or when patterns of hurt need to be understood and changed.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. This can help with anxiety, depression and persistent worry by building steadier attention and calmer responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree on what to try based on the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit more easily around daily life, reduce travel time and make scheduling shorter check-ins simpler. Ask about the practical arrangements so sessions match your needs.
