Jane Nicholls , BACP

Jane Nicholls is a counsellor who focuses on helping women think through relationship strain, self-esteem worries, anxiety and major life changes. She aims to make sessions straightforward and grounded. She uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's concerns at the centre of each conversation.

Jane works in a calm, non-judgemental way. She listens for the patterns that make problems repeat, and helps clients name the feelings behind them. Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person.

Her training is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That registration means she follows recognised standards and a professional framework. Jane has four years of experience in counselling.

She draws on a mix of approaches, including attachment-based ideas, trauma-focused work and cognitive behavioural techniques. This variety allows her to respond differently depending on the issue and the person she is talking with.

Common topics she supports include grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy issues and parenting strain. She also helps with anger, career questions, eating and sleeping problems, and feelings of isolation or shame.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Jane helps clients find a way of meeting that fits their routine and comfort.

How her approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections affect current relationships and self-worth. Online sessions can help people notice patterns that repeat in friendships and partnerships, and practice different ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgement. That approach helps people feel heard and build clarity about what they want to change.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jane will talk through goals and preferences and tailor the work as therapy progresses, combining elements where that helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods feel most useful.

Online formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent alongside daily demands.
