Jane Francis, BACP

Jane Francis is a counsellor who follows a person-centred approach. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space and matches the pace of each person she works with. She emphasises warmth and respect in sessions and aims to help people feel understood and more able to move forward.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people gain clarity about stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief and issues related to ADHD. Jane will listen for what matters most and help people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Jane is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on a mix of approaches including emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based ways of working when these fit a person’s goals. Her practice values sensitivity to neurodiversity and life-stage changes such as ageing and related concerns.

With seven years of experience, she adapts conversations to each person’s needs and pace. The aim is to work collaboratively so people feel more confident in handling day-to-day challenges and longer-term changes. Jane describes therapy as a space for understanding, healing and gradual change.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so sessions can be matched to their needs. Scheduling is arranged after that step, and sessions operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on letting the person lead the conversation while the counsellor offers empathy and understanding. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most in their life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and naming core emotions in the moment. It is useful for people who want to change how they respond in close relationships or better understand repeated emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose tools and styles that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying one approach for a while and then adjusting the plan as needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and saving time on commutes. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that suits them better. Many registered or accredited professionals use online work to keep continuity between appointments and to support steady progress over time.
