About Jane
Jane Francis works from a person-centred perspective that puts the client at the heart of the work. She is a BACP member and aims to offer a calm, warm space where people can talk through feelings at their own speed. Jane focuses on listening and responding with care so people can begin to make sense of what they are living with.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship worries.
Background and approach
Self-esteem and motivation are also common topics in sessions, along with attention and focus concerns such as ADHD. Jane uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Her background includes seven years of professional experience supporting adults in the United Kingdom.
Her practice draws on several recognised approaches, including client-centred work, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Jane also uses elements of Internal Family Systems when it seems helpful for a person’s goals. The first meetings are usually about getting to know each other and agreeing what to focus on.
Jane tailors the pace and the questions to each person, and she reviews progress as therapy continues. She works to the ethical framework of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. People who choose Jane often want a steady, respectful counsellor who will support practical change as well as emotional understanding.
She aims to help clients find clearer thinking, kinder self-talk and more useful habits day to day.

How Jane works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of using these methods together. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adapted as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments during a short break at work or when movement is limited, and some people find telephone or video sessions reduce the need to prepare for travel. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking to make sure they meet personal needs.
