About Jane

Jane Evans is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, addiction, self-esteem or life changes. Jane also offers help around adoption and foster care concerns and issues linked to parenting and attachment.

She has worked in mental health since 1995, first in schools and universities and later in private practice and the voluntary sector. That experience includes short-term counselling and longer-term therapy, and she has helped people with a wide range of difficulties over many years.

Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on understanding what feels hard and finding practical ways forward. Jane draws on therapies such as cognitive behavioural work and emotion-focused ideas to address feelings and behaviour.

Jane is a BACP member, which means her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework. She also carries out supervision and training for other practitioners and has worked on projects involving online counselling.

People who choose therapy with Jane can expect a calm, inclusive space to talk through problems. She aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and to build more hopeful next steps. Before starting, she encourages readers to consider which session format would suit them best.

Her background includes longstanding involvement in online counselling development and conference organisation. This history informs how she supports people seeking help across different settings.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and for rebuilding life after big changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and can help when past relationships affect current trust, intimacy or parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

The biography lists online options such as instant messaging, webcam and voice (telephone), but readers should confirm the current session choices before booking. Online sessions make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from different locations, including international clients. For some people certain online formats suit a quicker check-in while others prefer a full conversation by voice or video, and that practical fit is worth discussing when you start.
