Jane Evans

Jane Evans is a counsellor with decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, anger and relationship struggles. She offers help for depression, grief, addictions and problems with sleep or eating. People also come to her for career concerns, parenting pressures, ADHD-related challenges and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Jane trained within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework and holds BACP accreditation. She has worked in schools, universities, employee assistance programmes, the voluntary sector and in private practice. Her experience stretches across short-term counselling and longer-term therapy, so she is used to different kinds of need and timing.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. That begins with listening and helping people name what is happening for them. From there she works with clients to try practical steps and ways of thinking that feel manageable day to day.

Her approach draws on a mix of recognised methods including cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-based thinking and emotionally focused work. These are used in straightforward ways to help with coping, relationships and life changes.

Jane also offers supervision and training around online counselling. She has been involved in developing e-counselling and computer-mediated services in the UK for many years. If you are thinking of starting, follow the Start Therapy process to match with her and arrange a session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can suit those struggling with anxiety, avoidance or getting stuck in difficult moods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift patterns that feed anxiety, low mood or anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships influence present-day connections and can help when difficulties with trust or closeness affect current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process aims to match methods to goals rather than imposing a single way of working.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not all specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join sessions from another location if that suits their routine. Jane has a long history of working with e-counselling and supervision and will discuss what mode of contact works best for each person.
