About Jane
Jane Finlay is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She welcomes straightforward conversations about stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Jane works to create a kind, non-judgemental space where people can say what is really on their mind.
Jane has practised for ten years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work often focuses on how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns.
Background and approach
She pays attention to attachment and the ways people hide their true selves behind coping behaviours. In sessions Jane listens for patterns such as avoidance, dissociation, control problems or feelings of emptiness. She helps people name difficult emotions like shame, guilt or grief and consider how those feelings affect relationships and life choices.
Conversations aim to build self-understanding and clearer choices rather than quick fixes. People come to Jane for help with issues such as addiction, compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns, midlife questions and family difficulties. She also supports those working through loss, anger or major life changes.
The focus is practical: notice what matters, try small changes, and check what helps. Jane describes her style as compassionate and reflective. She encourages people to reconnect with their inner sense of direction.
Starting therapy is acknowledged as a brave step and she aims to make the process as steady and respectful as possible.

Psychodynamic insights delivered online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early relationships and repeated patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. It helps when someone wants to understand why they react in familiar ways, such as avoidance, control struggles or repeated relationship problems, and is useful for issues like grief, shame or intimacy concerns.Work in this approach usually involves noticing patterns that recur in day-to-day life and in the therapy room, and reflecting on how past events shape present choices. The therapist and client work together to explore emotions, memories and recurring themes to build clearer self-understanding and more choice in how to respond.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jane will collaborate with each person to decide whether a psychodynamic focus feels useful and to adapt the work to individual needs, goals and preferences. This is a joint effort where goals are reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or low bandwidth, and chat or messaging can fit a busy day or quieter reflective work. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or other commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
