Jane Nicholls welcomes people who are worried, confused or overwhelmed and want a straightforward place to start. She aims to make first steps simple and clear so the person seeking help can focus on what matters. Jane uses calm, down-to-earth language and gentle questioning to make sessions feel manageable.

Jane is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years' experience working with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and problems with intimacy and self-esteem. Her practice takes an integrative approach. That means she draws on several ways of working to suit the individual's needs rather than using one fixed method.

Sessions are shaped around the person's goals, pace and comfort level. In practical terms Jane helps people explore attachment patterns, improve communication, manage difficult feelings and build coping strategies. She also addresses specific concerns like sleep and eating problems, anger, guilt, shame and struggles with life purpose.

Work with Jane tends to be collaborative and down-to-earth. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so conversations can fit into busy lives. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit them.

How online approaches and therapy methods work together

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions look at safety in relationships, how people connect and what gets in the way of closeness. This approach can help with abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and follows the person's pace. This method is useful for building self-esteem, reducing shame and exploring life purpose.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Jane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centred listening and then adding cognitive or trauma-focused techniques as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments, and they let people choose the format that helps them engage best.
