About Jane

Jane Stannard is a counsellor who offers a calm, listening presence for people facing loss, stress and anxiety. She uses an integrative style so sessions fit each person’s needs. Jane holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has ten years of experience in counselling.

Her approach blends person-centred listening with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. That means time will be given to talk through what matters most while also trying tools that can reduce panic, worry and stress. Sessions aim to help people make clearer choices and feel steadier day to day.

Jane has particular experience with bereavement and end-of-life matters, including hospice support. She also helps with workplace pressures, relationship difficulties such as divorce and blended family issues, and concerns about narcissism. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among her focus areas and she offers help to people who are struggling with those experiences.

She has provided volunteer counselling and private practice work, and holds an AQA Level 4 Diploma and a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Social Care. Jane is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

How Jane uses person-centred work and CBT online

Jane blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that are easy to follow. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel understood; it suits those who need space to tell their story. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple strategies to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Jane will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs and goals. She listens to preferences and adapts techniques so sessions feel useful and manageable.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving or school runs. As formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered.
