About Jane

Jane Finlay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and trauma. She works in a calm, respectful way and aims to create space for people to say what matters to them. Jane has ten years of experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her practice.

Jane uses a psychodynamic approach to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how early relationships and hidden habits can shape current feelings and choices. Sessions focus on understanding what lies under difficult emotions, not just managing symptoms. Her style is compassionate and curious.

She encourages people to notice the masks they wear and to explore how those masks affect close relationships and self-worth. The work often involves gently uncovering old beliefs that no longer serve the person. People come to Jane for a wide range of concerns, including grief, addiction, anger, compassion fatigue and problems with intimacy.

She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation and feelings of emptiness or isolation. In sessions Jane aims to help clients find clearer self-understanding and more confidence to make changes. She works collaboratively, listening first and then offering ways to think about problems differently.

Beginning therapy is recognised as a brave step and she encourages people to notice that courage as they start the work.

Ways of working Jane names

Psychodynamic Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How psychodynamic work adapts to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy looks at the stories people repeat and the hidden feelings that drive them. In practice this means talking through past relationships, patterns and recurring emotions to make sense of how they affect life now. It can help with anxiety, trauma, grief and repeated relationship problems.

The approach also pays attention to emotional reactions that arise between counsellor and client in sessions. Noticing these reactions can offer clues about present difficulties and supports deeper understanding of issues such as attachment, abandonment and dissociation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will discuss goals and try different ways of working until something fits. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs, preferences and pace shape the sessions.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
