About Jane
Jane Nicholls is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage parenting challenges and everyday pressures. She aims to make talking about worries easier and more practical. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on listening first and responding to each person’s needs.
Jane uses different counselling approaches to match what each person finds helpful. She draws on attachment work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred ways of working so the person sets the pace and the focus. Her sessions include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Trauma-focused techniques are available when past painful experiences are part of the issue.
Jane keeps explanations simple and offers steps people can try between sessions. She has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Jane practises from the United Kingdom and carries out sessions online in English.
She does not take international clients at this time. People typically contact her about relationship stress, parenting pressures, anxiety, low mood, grief and life changes. She also supports those dealing with issues such as addiction, trauma, self-esteem, anger and compassion fatigue.
Work in sessions is paced to the individual and focused on practical next steps. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the counsellor’s availability. Jane explains the process clearly and helps people choose a format that suits their life and needs.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice recurring dynamics and try new ways of relating, which can be useful for parenting or intimacy concerns.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, offering empathic listening and gentle feedback so goals emerge at a natural pace; this approach supports people who need to feel heard and understood.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change thoughts and behaviours. In online work this often means short exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments that can be discussed during video calls or by messaging between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and any practical limits, then suggest a way forward. Treatment can combine elements from different approaches so that the plan fits the person’s needs and stage of life.
Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits people who prefer typing, and text messaging supports brief check-ins. These options help people fit counselling around work, childcare or other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
