About Jane

Jane Sheppard is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career concerns. She works with individual adults to untangle difficult feelings and find practical ways forward. Sessions are straightforward and focused on making small, helpful changes that fit everyday life.

She uses several approaches to suit different needs, including attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioural ideas can help spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Background and approach

Solution-focused techniques support quick, goal-based steps when clients want clear actions to try. Jane aims for a calm and non-judgemental space in sessions. She listens closely and mirrors back what she hears, then offers options that feel doable.

The work is collaborative so people keep control of the pace and direction. With four years of professional experience the therapist draws on practical tools and a steady, empathetic style. She holds BACP registration, which is a recognised professional affiliation in the UK.

Sessions are offered in English and designed for people living in the United Kingdom. Therapy sessions can cover a range of related concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, codependency, addiction, and separation. Jane also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family matters and communication or commitment problems.

People start by talking about immediate worries and practical goals. From there Jane and the client shape the work - whether that is short solution-focused work or a longer trauma-informed process.

Ways of working Jane names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Jane uses attachment-based work to help people see how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings; this can be useful for relationship worries, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on staying with the person and reflecting their experience so they feel heard and understood, which helps when someone needs space to make sense of difficult emotions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be shaped together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods as the work develops. This collaborative planning helps make sure the sessions match the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and mirror a face-to-face meeting. Phone work can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or a written way to work through things when speaking feels hard. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
