About Jane
Jane Stannard is a counsellor who uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and respond to each person’s story. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak freely about grief, stress, anxiety and life changes. Jane is known for straightforward, compassionate support that helps people feel heard and valued.
She has ten years of experience including volunteer counselling and a range of roles supporting people through bereavement, relationship strain and workplace stress. Jane holds an AQA Level 4 Diploma and a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Social Care, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS.
In sessions she combines Client-Centred Therapy with practical elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when helpful. That means she listens first, then gently helps people notice thoughts and patterns that make feelings worse, and explores small steps to change them. Her approach is adaptable, matching support to the person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Jane also offers faith-sensitive support for people who value Christian perspectives and would like prayerful accompaniment. She works with people who have faith and those who do not, focusing on what each person needs in the moment.
Her experience covers grief and bereavement, panic and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, workplace issues and the stresses of separation and blended family life. Prospective clients are invited to check whether her style and approach feel right for them before booking.
How Client-Centred and CBT Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience without judgement. The therapist reflects back what they hear, helps people find their own answers, and supports them at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and then tries practical small steps to reduce distress and build helpful habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will start by listening to what matters most to the person and then suggest which methods might suit their needs and goals. Together they decide what to try, and they adapt the work as progress or priorities change.
Please confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life or work commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options; discuss practical preferences when arranging sessions so arrangements match everyday life.
