Jane Little , BACP

Jane Little moved from senior management into counselling to offer deeper help than workplace coaching could provide. She is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, abuse and difficult life changes. Jane works with people across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and grief.

She has substantial experience with survivors of domestic abuse and with the emotional and physical impacts that follow. Her work also covers parenting struggles, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career-related worries. Jane has seen adults of different ages and genders and has worked in college settings.

Jane uses core counselling skills to help people make sense of their experiences. She draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, emotionally-focused methods and cognitive behavioural ideas, adapted to each person. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, noticing what is getting in the way, and trying out different ways of thinking and behaving.

Her manner is gentle and supportive. She offers a calm space where people can talk without pressure and take small steps towards change. In recent years she has also trained as a clinical supervisor and supports other counsellors and professionals in their practice.

Jane aims to help people build clearer self-understanding and practical coping strategies. She pays attention to each person’s uniqueness and to the courage it takes to ask for help.

Online approaches that focus on patterns and feelings

Jane draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape present reactions and connections; this approach can help when intimacy, trust or attachment issues cause repeat problems. She also uses client-centred methods to keep sessions person-led, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where a person’s own goals guide the work. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will discuss preferences and goals with each person and together they will decide what to try first. This collaborative process means the method can change as needs become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lives. Video calls mirror face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, flexible contact during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and to keep continuity when life is busy.
