About Jane
Jane Finlay welcomes visitors with a calm, respectful approach. She is introduced by name and notes her BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jane writes plainly about supporting people through stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem and depression.
She has more than ten years of experience in counselling. Jane focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship difficulties, grief, anger, addiction and compassion fatigue. Her additional areas of interest include abandonment, attachment issues, commitment and communication problems, dissociation and feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
Jane works in a psychodynamic way. She is interested in the masks people wear and how those patterns affect close relationships. In sessions she helps people notice repeated patterns, understand their emotional responses and explore what matters most to them.
The aim is practical and humane. Jane helps people feel more connected to themselves and more able to make choices that match their values. She describes therapy as a place to gently test new ways of relating and behaving.
She encourages anyone thinking about therapy to recognise the courage it takes to ask for help. Jane offers steady, compassionate support while people work through feelings and consider small changes that may make life feel better.

How Jane works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and collaboratively decide what to try. That conversation helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the individual client rather than following a fixed plan.
The practical benefits of online therapy include greater ease fitting sessions into a busy life and fewer travel requirements. Online work can mean quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or easier attendance when physical distance makes travel difficult. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online appointments to make therapy more accessible and to help clients keep therapy consistent alongside other commitments.
