Jane Francis
Warm person-centred counsellor focused on clarity and change
About Jane
Jane Francis uses a person-centred approach to counselling. She focuses on listening closely and following each person's pace. Jane aims to create a calm space where people can talk, reflect and begin to make different choices about how they live.
She is identified by her BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jane draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness practices to help with stress, anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set small, achievable steps and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at different parts of a person's inner life. These methods are used to address concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship problems, ADHD and grief. Her experience includes seven years working in professional counselling roles across the United Kingdom.
That background includes supporting people through loss, long-term illness and identity questions linked to adoption, attachment and neurodiversity. Jane describes herself as warm, non-judgemental and practical in her approach. Sessions centre on straightforward conversation and practical strategies.
The work might include noticing patterns of thought, practising attention exercises, or trying out new ways of responding in day-to-day life. Where helpful, she and the client agree small goals to track progress between meetings. Jane aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs and preferences.
She encourages steps that feel manageable and honours the courage it takes to seek change.

Sessions & fees
How Jane's approaches work online and in sessions
Jane often uses a person-centred focus together with Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client's pace, helping people feel heard and understood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people name and shift difficult emotions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve calmness.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Jane will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process allows small adjustments if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and more conversational flow. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions and people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
