About Jane

Jane Francis offers a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the centre of therapy. She meets people with warmth and care, listening without judgement and moving at a pace that feels right for them. Jane is a BACP member which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.

Many people come to Jane for help with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship difficulties, and the challenges that can accompany ADHD. Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care related concerns when these are part of a person's experience.

Sessions focus on making sense of what is happening day to day. Jane helps people notice patterns, name difficult feelings and try new ways of responding. She adapts the conversation to each person's priorities rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Over seven years of professional practice have shaped her practical style. She draws on approaches that encourage emotional awareness and shorter term problem solving, alongside techniques for calming and grounding when anxiety is high.

Jane aims to help people build clearer thinking and kinder self-talk. She encourages steps that fit into ordinary life, and she supports clients as they try out those changes between sessions. People who value a respectful, steady presence often find her approach reassuring.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, seen and accepted before making changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and name emotions, and use that awareness to shift patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing and grounding techniques to reduce overwhelm and manage anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jane will discuss the different methods and help decide what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. They also let people try techniques from their daily life with support so they can practise coping strategies between meetings.
