Jayne Sinclair, BACP

Jayne Sinclair is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of professional experience. She uses an integrative, holistic approach and draws on several therapeutic methods to meet people where they are. Jayne is also a BACP-registered practitioner and a fully qualified hypnotherapist with extensive clinical experience.

Jayne aims to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She supports those coping with grief and loss, parenting challenges, family separation and anger. She also addresses self-esteem, motivation, eating and body image concerns, and life direction issues including career and coaching needs.

Her work often includes attention to attachment issues, abandonment and adoption and foster care histories. Jayne has experience with ADHD related concerns and offers support for fertility and fatherhood issues as part of her wider practice. She lists ageing and geriatric issues among her additional focus areas.

For many years she has worked with young people in primary and secondary school settings alongside her private practice. With children and young people she uses creative activities such as art, writing, breathing and relaxation exercises to help them express themselves and build coping skills.

Jayne describes beginning therapy as a brave step. She works colaboratively to set small, practical goals and helps people take steady steps toward clearer thinking and more manageable routines.

How Jayne’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based approaches focus on relationships and how early connections shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships and practise new ways of relating to others in everyday life.

Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive way of working where the counsellor follows the client’s pace. This can help people who need space to talk things through and to find their own solutions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress and can include simple homework tasks to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jayne will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a way forward that combines methods where helpful. This collaborative process aims to match tools to the person’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in her profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity when routines are busy, so people can maintain momentum between sessions.
