About Jane

Jane Stevens is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can go at their own pace and bring whatever they are feeling. Jane uses an empathic, patient style to help people understand what is happening for them and to work toward clearer days.

Jane has seven years of experience working with teenagers and adults across different settings. She has worked a lot with people on the autism spectrum and with those facing issues around self-worth, confidence and relationships. Her Background includes practical work supporting mental health and helping people build coping skills for everyday life.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles, which means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Jane also uses attachment-based ideas and somatic and trauma-focused methods when these suit a person’s experience and preferences. She talks things through with clients and adjusts how she works as trust and understanding grow.

Sessions focus on clear practical steps as well as talking about feelings. She pays attention to how bodies hold stress and uses that knowledge to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Jane explains things simply and helps people set small, manageable goals.

People who want a compassionate, steady counsellor may find her style helpful. She aims to support clients with empathy and practical tools so they can move forward at a pace that feels right.

Approaches that shape online support

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judging and follows the client’s lead to help them understand their feelings and decide what to work on. This approach suits people who want a gentle, paced way to reflect and make small changes.

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This can help when there are recurring difficulties in trust, closeness or feeling secure with others. Somatic therapy pays attention to the body - noticing tension, breath and sensations - to find different ways of easing stress that complement talking work.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels useful and adapt methods to match a person’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. That means deciding together whether more body-focused exercises or more reflective conversation is best.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking to confirm what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of therapy when in-person meetings are difficult, while still letting the counsellor use client-centred, attachment and somatic ideas in the conversation.
