Jayne Sinclair , BACP

Jayne Sinclair is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration, and brings a practical, flexible approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. Jayne is also a hypnotherapist with many years using hypnotherapy to support emotional recovery from loss and persistent negative thinking.

She draws on a mix of methods to suit each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, simple tools and steady progress. Jayne uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Clients often come for help with grief, coping with life changes, parenting challenges, relationship and family problems, body image and eating issues. She also supports people dealing with career decisions, anger, motivation and the longer-term effects of abandonment or adoption experiences.

Her style is calm and down-to-earth. Jayne uses practical exercises, breathing and relaxation, and expressive methods such as writing and art when helpful. She aims for sessions that feel manageable and useful from the first meeting.

Appointments are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Jayne commonly blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness and can help with relationship and family difficulties. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful when exploring identity, parenting or life direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, gives clear ways to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used for anxiety, low mood and confidence issues.

Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, short check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family and daily life.
