About Jane

Jane Francis is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and grief. Her practice also supports people dealing with relationship concerns and related issues such as communication and commitment struggles.

Jane uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches alongside Person-Centred methods. Sessions focus on recognising feelings that are hard to name and on improving how people relate to themselves and others. She also draws on mindfulness, solution-focused ways of working and Internal Family Systems ideas when these fit a person's needs.

Her background includes work supporting people with adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, autism and neurodiversity awareness, and the emotional impact of chronic illness and cancer. She also has training relevant to ADHD and menopause and works from the BACP ethical framework.

In practical terms, Jane aims to help people talk through what is troubling them, spot patterns that keep repeating, and try out different responses. Sessions are conversational and steady. The focus is on clear steps people can use between meetings to feel a bit more in control of day-to-day life.

People considering counselling are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session. Jane offers support in English and does not work with international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jane uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name difficult emotions and to shift unhelpful patterns in how they relate to themselves. This approach is often used for concerns linked to attachment and relationship-style patterns. Client-Centred work is also central to her practice, which means sessions are driven by the client's concerns and pace. Mindfulness techniques are used to build simple skills for managing stress, anxiety and overwhelming moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will discuss different methods and decide together with each person which combination fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps shape what happens in sessions and what is tried between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter reflection without needing to rearrange other commitments. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins or camera-free sessions if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals use these ways of working to help people maintain continuity of support while balancing everyday life.
