Background and approach

Her background includes work with family violence and supporting people who are exhausted by caregiving or professional demands. In sessions she works collaboratively and focuses on strengths you already have. Conversations cover manageable strategies for day-to-day coping, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and practising simple skills between sessions.

Jane explains ideas in everyday language and helps shape steps that fit your routine. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep difficulties, mood swings and challenges with self‑esteem. Where relevant she addresses issues such as attachment wounds, guilt, isolation and setting boundaries.

The pace is set by the person in front of her. Jane uses several practical approaches to help you try new ways of responding to hard feelings and situations. She encourages gentle action, skill-building and honest reflection so people can move toward more manageable days.

If you want clear, down-to-earth help with anxiety or life change, Jane aims to make the process straightforward and useful.

How Jane’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach suits people who want to regain momentum in life while still acknowledging hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and break unhelpful cycles. CBT is helpful for worries, sleep issues and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and expressing core emotions that affect relationships and self‑connection; it can help with attachment wounds and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jane will talk with you about your priorities, try out techniques and adjust the plan to suit your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with pacing and focus decided by you and the therapist.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you keep visual contact while fitting sessions into a workday. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, skill reminders or a way to work through small steps between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and practise new skills in real time.
