About Jane
Jane Evans is a counsellor with decades of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship difficulties. She offers a steady presence and practical support when it feels hard to find a way forward alone. She has worked in schools, further education, universities, independent practice, the voluntary sector and employee assistance programmes since 1995.
That long experience means she has listened to many different problems, from addiction and trauma to self-esteem and career concerns.
Background and approach
Her practice includes short-term counselling and longer therapy when that is needed. Jane uses straightforward, person-focused ways of working. She aims to build trust and understanding so people can make small changes that matter.
She values an anti-discriminatory approach and is open to clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT people. She is a BACP member, which means her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework. She also supervises and trains other counsellors and has been involved in developing online counselling since the mid-2000s.
Jane offers sessions by video, phone, instant messaging and text. She works with a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, addiction, ADHD, bipolar and issues linked to ageing, chronic illness or bereavement. If someone needs help sorting out day-to-day coping, she focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking.
For people who prefer online options, she has long experience delivering counselling and supervising online services. That background helps her adapt her style to fit different session formats and each person’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions to move life in a chosen direction, which can help with anxiety and stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to change unhelpful habits and improve mood or sleep.
Attachment-Based Therapy centres on how early relationships shape current feelings and trust. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and relationship patterns.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as things change.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be easier when movement or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, writing out thoughts or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, study and family commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
