About Jane
Jane Stannard is a counsellor who focuses on stress, anxiety and grief. She uses a person-centred way of working so people feel heard and respected. Jane offers practical support to help clients manage depression, low self-esteem and big life changes.
She draws on ten years of experience and combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural approaches. That means sessions often start with listening and understanding, then move to clearer thoughts and small, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Jane aims to help people reduce panic symptoms and cope better with workplace strain and relationship breakups. Clients come to her with blended family concerns, divorce and separation issues, and problems within family dynamics. She also supports people facing hospice and end-of-life matters, and those dealing with narcissistic behaviour in others.
Practical coping strategies are offered alongside empathic listening. Jane will make space for people of faith and those without faith. She is able to include prayerful support for clients who request it, but she works respectfully with a wide range of beliefs.
Her training includes an AQA Level 4 Diploma and a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Social Care. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS. Sessions are available in English and delivered from the United Kingdom.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire to check fit and arrange sessions.
How client-centred and CBT work online
Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to without judgement. The counsellor reflects what is heard and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits people who need steady emotional support during grief or times of change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour changes. It is practical and often used for anxiety, panic and low mood. Sessions can include short exercises and tasks between meetings to build new skills.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on listening and exploration or on specific CBT techniques, and they can adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people talk face to face, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter space is easier to find. Live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins and ongoing support without scheduling a full session. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and other commitments, while still receiving structured therapeutic help from registered or accredited professionals.
