About Jane

Jane Wharmby is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Jane keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.

She aims to create a simple space where clients can feel heard and start to find practical ways forward. Jane uses an integrative approach that draws on several ways of working.

Background and approach

She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and client-centred principles to match the work to the person. This flexibility means the plan can change as needs shift. Before counselling she worked in the tourist industry and local government.

Those roles helped her understand everyday pressures and how people respond to change. Over the years she has worked in both personal and agency settings across the United Kingdom. In sessions Jane focuses on what clients can do next.

She supports people to notice strengths that have become hard to see. Practical tools, short exercises and gentle reflection are common parts of the work. She also helps with parenting stress, career concerns, compassion fatigue and difficulties like communication problems, chronic illness, body image and hoarding.

The aim is steady progress at a pace the client chooses.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then take small steps toward a life that matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with stress, depression and anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood; the therapist prioritises warmth and non-judgemental listening to help people find their own answers.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Jane will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose techniques that suit the problem and the person. That collaborative process can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when writing brings clarity. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
