Background and approach

She listens closely and helps people make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on small steps they can try between meetings. Her experience includes working with grief and loss, including loss of a child and pregnancy-related bereavement.

She also has experience supporting people with confidence and self-worth issues, neurodiversity, depression, addiction, sexuality and gender concerns, disability, homelessness and relationship breakdown. Jana aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She adapts sessions to the needs of the person sitting across from her and concentrates on practical ways to cope day to day.

Jana emphasises courage and steady progress when people take the step to seek help. Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere and focused conversations about manageable goals. Jana supports people as they work through painful feelings and rebuild routines that feel helpful and realistic.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Person centred counselling focuses on the person rather than the problem. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people talk through their concerns in their own words. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries because it lets people lead the pace and focus.

Alongside person centred work, evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to add structure when helpful. These techniques might include gentle practical strategies to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing or grounding exercises and simple behavioural steps to build confidence and routine. These tools are offered as options the client can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust them as needs change, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that works best. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good alternative. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to use alongside everyday commitments.
