About Jane

Jane Stannard is an integrative counsellor who combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas. She aims to listen carefully and help people talk through loss, anxiety and stress in a way that feels reassuring and respectful. She presents herself as someone who will walk alongside a person during difficult times and encourage practical choices that suit their life.

Her approach begins with making space for each person’s story. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, whether that is bereavement, workplace strain, relationship breakdown or low self esteem.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard and supported. When appropriate, she brings in cognitive behavioural techniques to help manage anxious thoughts and panic, and to build coping strategies for day-to-day life. These tools are offered alongside conversational support rather than replacing it.

She has ten years of experience, including six years in volunteer counselling roles and work with a wide range of concerns such as grief, depression, and family problems. She also has experience supporting people through hospice and end-of-life issues and the stresses of blended family or divorce situations.

Her formal qualifications include 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, and also holds registration with the National Christian Pastoral Service (NCPS). Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online or by phone.

She welcomes people with or without faith and can include prayerful support when requested by clients of the Christian faith.

Online counselling approaches and practical options

Jane blends client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural ideas to support people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and understanding the person's experience, helping them feel accepted and able to make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and patterns and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety or manage panic attacks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face contact across distance, phone sessions can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat is suited to shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options aim to fit therapy around work, family life and mobility needs, while keeping regular contact consistent.
