Jane Rodrigues
Practical counselling for stress and trauma
About Jane
Jane Rodrigues offers short, clear-headed support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of experience. Her writing and manner are straightforward and intended to calm someone who is worried and looking for help.
She works with people affected by trauma and abuse, including historical abuse, and those exploring LGBT issues.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and making practical changes that help day to day. Jane also supports people facing panic, obsessive thoughts, relationship breakdown and difficult life transitions. Her practice uses an integrative approach so sessions are shaped to each person’s needs.
That means she draws on person-centred ideas and solution-focused techniques to meet practical goals and to support emotional healing. She is also trained as a life coach and blends coaching when people want clearer direction or goal planning. In a session she creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through their thoughts and feelings.
Conversations move at a pace the client chooses and focus on what will feel useful now. Jane aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, improve communication and reduce overwhelming reactions. She offers video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging sessions for people in the United Kingdom.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs.

Approaches that suit online therapy
Jane draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal oriented. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely and reflecting back a person’s experience so they feel understood and clearer about what matters. This method helps with self-esteem, grief and making sense of difficult feelings. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable steps and immediate solutions to reduce stress and build coping skills; they work well for anxiety, panic and short-term goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences, then shape sessions accordingly. That collaborative process means flexibility and adjustments as progress is made or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make engagement easier. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and fit quick check-ins, live chat suits brief exchanges and immediate support, and messaging lets clients reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and help keep continuity when life is busy.
