About Jane

Jane Evans is a BACP counsellor with 28 years of experience working in mental health care across schools, higher education, voluntary services, employee assistance programmes and private practice. She sees people who bring stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and a wide range of other life challenges. Jane also works with clients on parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, career questions, ADHD and other long-term conditions.

She uses approaches that focus on emotions, attachment and how people make sense of their relationships. Sessions aim to help people name hard feelings and notice patterns that get in the way of making changes. Practical methods from cognitive behavioural and acceptance and commitment approaches are used alongside client-centred listening.

Jane has worked with short-term counselling and longer-term therapy. She has supported people through trauma, loss and chronic illness and has experience with attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues. She also has experience with body image, codependency and commitment worries.

Her practice is informed by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework; she also supervises and trains other counsellors. She has contributed to the development of online counselling and was active in the Online Counselling and Training in Action conferences.

For those who choose to meet online, Jane offers a mix of messaging, webcam or voice sessions. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first appointment using the online options button.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on helping people identify and name difficult emotions in the context of relationships and attachment. It can help when patterns of interaction or strong feelings are hard to understand or change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It can be useful for concerns linked to abandonment, attachment issues and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding what helps you make practical changes.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around school, work or caregiving, choosing a shorter voice check-in when that suits, or using webcam meetings for face-to-face interaction when travel is difficult. The biography lists instant messaging, webcam and voice (telephone) as current options; confirm the exact session formats before booking so they match your routine.
