About Jane
Jane Sheppard is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. She offers a calm, steady presence so clients can talk through what feels overwhelming. Jane uses straightforward, practical work to help people find clearer steps forward.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred listening to make space for each person's experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used where thinking and behaviour patterns are getting in the way.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Jane aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and review what works. She keeps language simple and gives clear suggestions rather than jargon-filled explanations.
Jane has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is shown as BACP. Her background includes supporting people after trauma, relationship breakdown and through struggles with addiction and caregiving stress.
People who are unsure what to expect often begin by describing a single worry. From there Jane helps prioritise goals and plans gentle steps forward. This approach suits those who want practical tools alongside empathic listening.
How Jane’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviours. In practice this means looking at patterns of closeness and distance, and how they affect relationships today. It can help people who notice repeated relationship problems or fear of abandonment.Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection, helping clients find their own answers and build confidence. This method suits those who want a gentle, supportive space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is something to work on together. Jane will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways forward that fit the person. That collaborative process helps shape whether more practical CBT-style tools or longer reflective work will be used.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
