Jane Nicholls

Jane Nicholls is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and tense relationships. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anger, stress, anxiety and life changes. Her style aims to put each person first and work at a pace that suits them.

Jane uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape feelings now. She also uses client-centred ways of working to build a trusting, respectful relationship with the person in front of her.

Her background includes four years working in counselling settings. Jane is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in her profile.

In sessions she helps people talk through issues such as relationship strain, family difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue.

Jane pays attention to topics like attachment and abandonment, communication problems, control issues, dissociation and jealousy. She works with people on practical steps for coping, improving communication and exploring life purpose. If someone is unsure about what to expect, she encourages them to take the first step and start a conversation.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships affect emotional reactions and connection now. It can help people understand patterns that feed anger, distrust or distancing in close relationships. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client’s pace. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they explore difficult feelings and make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to decide which ideas and techniques suit their goals and preferences. That might mean drawing on attachment ideas one week and using more practical steps another week, depending on what the person needs.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Many people like online work because it makes it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduces travel time and can allow shorter check‑ins when needed. Others appreciate being able to join from a quieter place or to use a phone call when bandwidth is low. The counsellor and client can discuss which arrangement best supports regular attendance and the therapeutic goals.
