About Jane

Jane Nicholls is a counsellor who aims to help people manage anxiety, relationship strain and everyday pressures. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what feels hard. Her style is gentle and person-focused, with practical steps where they help.

With a Bachelor membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Jane combines several approaches rather than relying on one method. She draws on attachment ideas and cognitive techniques to make sense of feelings and behaviour. This means sessions can include talking, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.

Jane has four years of experience working with concerns such as depression, stress, grief and trauma. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, self-esteem, compulsive behaviours and problems with sleep or eating. Additional focus areas include control issues, abandonment, dissociation and communication problems.

Her way of working is collaborative. She listens first, then helps a person choose approaches that suit their goals. Sessions are paced to fit each person, so people decide what to tackle and when.

People thinking about counselling are invited to take the first step by completing the site’s matching process and arranging a session. Jane aims to make the process straightforward and respectful of each person’s situation.

How Jane’s approaches can work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in trust, closeness and reactions to others, which can improve how they relate now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to reduce panic, manage anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jane works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, explains options and adapts the plan as things change. Please confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, such as joining sessions from a quieter place, cutting travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult, while still working through issues like panic, trauma and relationship concerns.
