Jane Evans , BACP

Jane Evans is a counsellor with almost three decades of experience in mental health care. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions and a wide range of life changes. Jane also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and work-related pressures.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions aim to help people understand their feelings and find steps forward that feel manageable. Jane offers both short-term counselling and longer-term therapy depending on what someone needs.

Jane has worked across schools, further education, universities, private practice, the voluntary sector and employee assistance programmes. That variety has shaped a flexible approach to different life stages and situations. She brings experience with recovery from trauma and abuse, bereavement, parenting strain and caregiver stress.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods. These are used to help people notice patterns, try new ways of coping and rebuild connections where they matter most.

Based in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Jane offers online support by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. She also supervises other counsellors and contributes to training and consultancy on online counselling.

People who are ready to start can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions as needed. The aim is practical, steady progress that fits each person’s life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating.

She uses a client-centred way of listening that keeps the person’s own goals central while drawing on cognitive behavioural and emotionally-focused techniques when helpful. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to test what fits best, adjust the plan and review progress together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit counselling around work and family life. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be quicker for a brief check-in, while live chat or messaging can suit those who prefer typing or shorter contacts. These options aim to increase flexibility and access so therapy can match different routines and needs.
