Jane Kelly

Jane Kelly is a BACP counsellor who offers a warm, person-centred approach. She puts the client’s story and perspective first, listening without judgement and helping people make sense of difficult feelings. Her style aims to help people feel heard and understood before moving on to practical change.

With four years of experience, she works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, career worries and anger. Jane helps clients who are navigating life changes, health-related challenges and issues around attachment and communication.

Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship. Jane uses gentle questioning and reflective listening so people can recognise patterns and decide what matters most to them. She combines client-centred work with narrative and solution-focused ideas to identify small, achievable steps forward.

Mindfulness techniques and attachment-informed thinking are used when they suit the person’s needs. These approaches can help with stress-management, grounding difficult emotions and improving how someone relates to others. Narrative work supports re-framing painful stories that keep people stuck.

Jane’s practice is practical and collaborative. She encourages realistic goals and checks in on progress. To start, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Jane uses a client-centred foundation that places the person’s voice at the centre of sessions. This approach means the counsellor follows what matters most to the client, listens closely and helps the person steer the work. It is useful for people who need a space to be heard and to organise their thoughts.

She also draws on solution-focused ideas, which concentrate on achievable steps and practical changes. That approach helps when someone wants short-term goals, clearer next steps and ways to manage day-to-day challenges. Narrative techniques are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to identify unhelpful patterns that can be re-written.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions to fit those needs. The process is collaborative and reviewed over time so methods can change as progress is made.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting people choose quieter arrangements that suit them. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the pace and structure of sessions so they work with everyday commitments.
