About Jane

Jane Sheppard is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety and relationship problems. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Jane works from a calm, straightforward style and aims to make sessions easy to understand.

She uses approaches that focus on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. That includes attachment-based work and client-centred conversations that let people lead what they talk about.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolkit for tackling unhelpful thoughts and practical patterns. Jane has four years of experience in the field and holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on this background to offer steady, practical support rather than quick fixes.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. In appointments she aims to listen carefully and help people spot small, manageable changes. That could mean trying new ways to communicate, testing out coping strategies for anxiety, or working through painful events from the past.

The work moves at a person’s own speed. Her additional focus covers issues such as attachment concerns, codependency, dissociation, substance-related problems, and the stresses of caregiving or blended family life. People who speak English and are living in the United Kingdom can work with her online using several session formats.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the patterns people form in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and reactions. It helps when past bonds influence current anxiety, trust or communication issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person leading the conversation and focuses on being heard and understood; it can help people build self-worth and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and adjust plans based on what meets the persons goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be helpful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, and let people continue work from wherever they are in the United Kingdom.
