Jane Wharmby offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and major life changes. She also helps with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and career questions. Jane's approach aims to make difficult feelings easier to manage so people can get back to daily life.

She draws on 15 years of practice across personal and agency settings in the United Kingdom. Jane is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.

Background and approach

That background gives her a broad base to tailor the work to each person. Jane works in a straightforward, client-led way. Sessions focus on what matters to the person sitting opposite her and move at a pace they can manage.

She helps people notice their strengths and use them to face current problems. Therapy may include practical steps such as learning new coping skills, trying different ways to handle thoughts and feelings, and practising mindful awareness. Jane uses a mix of methods so the work can shift as someone progresses.

Before counselling she worked in the tourist industry and local government, roles that helped her understand people and practical pressures. That experience informs a down-to-earth style and a focus on workable change. Her aim is to support people to build resilience, regain a sense of control and move toward the life they want.

The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to suit the person.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what really matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build actions that match a person’s values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small behaviour changes to shift how problems feel. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and stress because it offers clear steps to practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with the person to pick methods that suit their goals, preferences and daily life. That may mean combining elements of different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing support between calls and can fit into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to match the way a person prefers to communicate.
