Jane Sheppard offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career worries. She uses clear, practical language to help clients feel understood and to work through immediate problems. Jane is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

Her sessions focus on what matters right now. She listens without judgment and helps people spot patterns that keep causing pain.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to make daily life easier, not more complicated. Jane blends several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how earlier relationships affect current connections.

Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and anxiety. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm affects day-to-day functioning. Sessions may also include a solution-focused emphasis to set short-term goals and make steady progress.

The tone is practical and collaborative, with space for reflection as well as action. Jane explains options and chooses steps together with the client. People reach out for many reasons, from relationship patterns and abandonment concerns to substance problems or parenting stress.

Jane has experience with adoption and foster care related issues, dissociation, and domestic violence among other concerns. She works with adults wanting straightforward help and clearer strategies. To begin, Jane asks about the immediate issue and what the person hopes to change.

From there she offers a mix of talking, skill practice and planning to help people move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

How Jane's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds. Online sessions use conversation to notice those patterns and to try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and conflict. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In online sessions this often involves short exercises, thought records and practical steps you can try between meetings. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process past harm so it affects daily life less; the therapist guides pacing and grounding techniques suited to each person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane treats this as a team effort - she listens to what is troubling you, explains options, and together you agree which methods to try first. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and goals evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
