About Jane

Jane Nicholls is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with sleep, relationships and everyday stress. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through and helps people work out what matters most to them. Jane uses a personalised approach and aims to put each person first in sessions.

She works in ways drawn from attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current difficulties and listens closely to the person in front of her. She also uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help manage anxious thoughts and unhelpful patterns.

With four years of experience Jane supports people with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction, as well as issues with self-esteem, communication and life changes. Sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain and work-related compassion fatigue are also within her scope of focus.

Jane holds BACP registration, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Sessions are delivered via formats described in the service sign-up, so check options when you book.

To begin, users select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. After that, scheduling is arranged according to the therapist's availability and the subscription plan can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect how people relate now. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships and practise new ways of connecting. Client-centred counselling focuses on being heard and understood; the counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person brings to the session. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which combination of methods feels most useful. Goals, personal preferences and the issue being addressed shape that choice rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people use techniques at home, such as sleep strategies or behavioural experiments, so the work fits everyday life.
