About Jane

Jane Nicholls welcomes people who are struggling with work, relationships and life’s heavier moments. She keeps sessions straightforward and centred on what matters to each person. Jane is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience and she aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings without judgement.

Jane offers a personalised, flexible style. She draws on several approaches and adapts them to the person in front of her. That means sessions can focus on practical steps, understanding patterns, or simply making space to be heard. People come for help with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and grief, as well as relationship and intimacy concerns.

She also supports people dealing with work-related strain, compassion fatigue and career uncertainty. Other issues she commonly helps with include self-esteem, addiction, anger, eating and sleeping problems, and the ripple effects of separation or domestic violence. Jane pays attention to attachment, abandonment issues and communication difficulties that often underlie repeating problems.

In sessions she aims to make change manageable. Conversations often move between exploring past experiences and trying different ways of thinking or behaving in the present. Practical tools from cognitive approaches may be used alongside gentler, client-led work that focuses on connection and safety.

If you decide to reach out you start by completing a short questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits you. Jane works from the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, and sessions are conducted in English.

How her approaches can work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how past connections shape present feelings. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practise different ways of relating in day-to-day life.

Client-centred counselling puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the client brings, which is useful for building trust and tackling issues like low self-esteem or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jane will work together with each person to decide what feels most helpful, balancing exploration of past experiences with practical steps for change. That collaborative planning can be reviewed as needs shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, avoid travel, and choose quieter times that suit work or family life. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations if that helps them engage more comfortably.
