Jan Jones , NCPS

Jan Jones is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on women's issues alongside a broad range of emotional concerns. She brings 16 years of experience and works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Jan also supports clients facing relationship strain, intimacy-related worries and challenges around self-esteem and confidence.

Her style is person-centred, which means she treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit what the client needs in the moment. Jan listens for strengths and practical options, and helps people find small, manageable steps forward.

She uses mindfulness techniques to help calm racing thoughts and to anchor attention in the present. When trauma or abuse is part of someone's story, she draws on trauma-focused methods to work safely through distressing memories and reactions. Existential ideas are also part of her approach, helping people explore meaning, values and life choices.

Jan has worked across a range of concerns connected to family life, caregiving, body image and identity, including LGBT matters and alternative sexual cultures. Her experience includes supporting people with chronic health issues, attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency and dissociation.

People who choose Jan can expect a steady, non-judgemental presence and practical conversations about goals. She aims for therapy to feel useful and doable, so progress can fit into a busy life.

How Jan's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In online sessions Jan offers open listening and gentle reflection so clients can set goals and steer the conversation. This approach helps when someone needs emotional clarity or support to make practical changes.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Online sessions can include guided exercises to calm the mind, notice bodily signals and practise grounding skills between meetings. Trauma-focused therapy involves careful, paced work with distressing memories and their effects; online sessions follow the same safety-first rhythm and aim to reduce symptoms and improve coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jan will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps find what feels most useful and comfortable.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or flexible scheduling. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into family, work and daily life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
