About Jane
Jane Stannard offers a warm, person-focused counselling style that centres on each person's experience. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Jane emphasises a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about what matters to them.
She has ten years of experience, including voluntary counselling roles. That experience includes supporting people through bereavement, loss, relationship strain, financial stress, anxiety, depression and recovery from abuse.
Background and approach
Jane also notes specific experience with hospice and end-of-life issues, blended family difficulties, divorce and separation, workplace challenges, panic attacks, narcissistic behaviour and women's issues. Jane trained to an AQA Level 4 Diploma standard and holds a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Social Care. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS accreditation.
She is also a registered member of the Association of Christian Counselling and has completed ACTO-recognised training for online and telephone work. People who prefer a counsellor of Christian faith can request prayerful support, and Jane is clear she works with both people of faith and those without faith.
She describes counselling as a collaborative journey where the client sets the pace and direction. Jane runs a independent practice in the United Kingdom and carries professional insurance. Prospective clients are encouraged to check session options before booking to confirm the current formats on offer.

How Jane works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will collaborate with each person to decide whether a person-centred way, CBT techniques, or a mix of both will best meet their goals. That decision is shaped by what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Jane has completed training for online and telephone counselling, which can help make sessions easier to fit into busy days. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online or phone sessions can reduce travel, make scheduling simpler and allow shorter check-ins when needed, which helps people keep therapy going alongside everyday commitments.
