Jane Nicholls , BACP

Jane Nicholls is an integrative counsellor who brings a sincere commitment to helping people make sense of difficult feelings and life events. She combines different therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. Jane emphasizes a non-judgmental, client-centered approach where individuals are listened to and placed at the centre of the work.

With four years of professional experience and the BACP credential - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she focuses on building a supportive space in which clients can explore challenges such as relationship strain, grief, anxiety, trauma, and issues around self-esteem. She believes that, with the right support, people can better understand what is happening for them and find constructive ways forward.

Jane takes pride in putting clients first and offering personalised care. She encourages those considering counselling to take the first step, and she works collaboratively to identify approaches that suit each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of connecting and responding to others. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, or recurring relationship patterns by exploring those early dynamics and how they play out today.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for the client’s own pace and perspective. It focuses on creating an accepting space where self-esteem, life transitions, and decision-making can be explored and strengthened through the client’s own insights.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours and teaches practical, skills-based strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. It is goal-oriented and often includes exercises to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and will be decided collaboratively. Jane Nicholls works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue momentum even when in-person visits are not feasible, while therapists adapt techniques to suit each format.
