About Jane
Jane Nicholls is a counsellor who aims to make reaching out straightforward. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship worries and past trauma. Jane presents herself as someone who listens and helps clients work through what feels overwhelming.
She uses a blend of approaches so sessions are shaped around each person. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, focusing on attachment and relationship patterns, or addressing the impact of traumatic events.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical, with time spent naming problems and trying small changes that can be tested between meetings. Jane is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. She has four years' experience working with a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Her work also covers more specific themes such as abandonment, dissociation, control issues, domestic violence, and the pressures faced by first responders. She helps people who feel isolated, overwhelmed by guilt or shame, or stuck in repetitive patterns. People considering counselling will find a practical tone in sessions.
Jane focuses on clear steps and on helping clients find what fits for them. If a different way of working seems better, she adapts the approach to meet the person's needs.

How online approaches and trauma-aware support work
Jane combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how distressing events affect thinking, feeling and daily life, and helps people find ways to reduce their impact. Attachment-Based work explores how early and current relationships shape patterns of trust, closeness and communication, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy issues. Client-Centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering listening and acceptance while the client leads the pace and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jane works collaboratively to decide what fits a person's needs and goals, and she adapts techniques over time. Conversations in early sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how best to work together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are suited to in-depth talks that mirror face-to-face sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or other commitments while keeping the same therapeutic approaches available.
