About Jane
Jane Stannard uses a person-centred approach to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She offers a listening space where clients can speak freely and feel heard. Jane draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when helpful to address patterns that increase worry or low mood.
She has ten years of counselling experience, including voluntary work supporting people through bereavement and loss. That work covered a range of issues such as relationship strain, workplace stress, financial worries and abuse.
Background and approach
Jane is familiar with end-of-life and hospice-related concerns and can help people process those difficult emotions. Jane offers supportive, straightforward sessions aimed at reducing anxiety and restoring a sense of choice. She also supports people working through separation, blended family difficulties and challenges linked to narcissistic relationships and panic attacks.
Her approach is adaptable so each person gets what they need. Jane holds a Level 4 AQA Diploma and a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Social Care. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
She is also a member of associations for Christian counselling and online therapy. People who want a counsellor who will listen and walk alongside them may find her style reassuring.

How person-centred and CBT approaches work online
Jane uses client-centred counselling to create a respectful, listening space where people can tell their story and be heard. This approach focuses on the person's experience and supports them to find their own solutions rather than being told what to do.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT techniques can be useful for managing anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and unhelpful thought patterns by practising different ways of thinking and reacting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jane will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to match their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give choice and flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
