About Jane
Jane Kelly is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult times. She works in a warm, respectful style and aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk about what matters to them. Jane holds BACP accreditation and draws on four years of practice to support practical change.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people cope with life changes, grief, career concerns and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Relationship issues, LGBT concerns and anger are also areas she addresses. Jane combines person-centred listening with methods that look at patterns and practical steps. She uses attachment-based ideas to explore close relationships and narrative techniques to help people reframe painful stories.
Solution-focused tools are introduced when short-term goals are useful. Sessions aim to build self-awareness and stronger coping skills. Jane encourages collaboration, so clients help set priorities and pace.
The overall tone is supportive and goal-minded rather than prescriptive. Practical matters are discussed openly in early sessions. Clients can expect clear options for online work including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
Jane works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers help in English.

How attachment and client-centred work translate online
Jane uses client-centred counselling to prioritise each person's experience and preferences. This approach means sessions start with listening and follow the person’s priorities, which can be especially helpful when sorting out parenting pressures, relationship worries or life changes.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how patterns in close relationships affect feelings and behaviour. That approach helps people identify repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and situation. Together they set small, clear aims and adapt the approach over time if needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when a quieter setup or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing helps organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments, while still allowing steady progress with therapeutic goals.
