Jane Cilliers , NCPS

Jane Cilliers is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds the NCPS credential and focuses on supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who is nervous about reaching out.

Jane adapts conversations to each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, sleep difficulties and career worries. She also helps with feelings of emptiness, shame, abandonment and isolation.

Her practice draws on attachment-based, client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences shape present feelings. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships and emotional responses, then helps people try new ways of relating and coping. The work can include talking through difficult memories, practising different communication approaches, and building small daily habits to improve mood and sleep.

Jane tries to keep sessions straightforward and practical. She balances openness with gentle challenge so people can notice change without feeling overwhelmed. Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth, aimed at people who want a clearer sense of themselves and steadier day-to-day coping.

For those who prefer online support, she offers several remote formats and will work with clients to choose the best option for their routines and needs.

How Jane brings attachment and client-centred work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations. Online sessions with this focus can help people notice recurring patterns in relationships and practise different ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace to build understanding and self-compassion, which can help with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Jane will work together with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their needs and goals. That collaborative conversation can begin in a first session and evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when more detailed conversation is useful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
