Jane Stevens, BACP

Jane Stevens is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and midlife change. She offers a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can take their time to talk through difficult feelings and find practical ways forward.

She draws on seven years of practice experience with teenagers and adults in a range of settings. That includes significant work supporting people on the autism spectrum and those processing trauma and abuse. Her approach is warm and patient and she aims to match the pace of each person who comes to sessions.

In session she focuses on understanding relationships and attachment, while listening closely to how the body holds emotion. This means paying attention to feelings, personal history and bodily reactions so that change can feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Sessions are shaped around the client’s immediate needs. Jane helps people build coping skills, explore self-esteem and regain confidence after setbacks. Conversations are practical and grounded, with an emphasis on small steps that make daily life easier.

She welcomes honest, open discussion about identity, communication problems, isolation, and the guilt or shame that often follows difficult experiences. Her aim is to support clearer choices and steadier emotional balance as people navigate life changes.

People who want to begin typically follow a short matching process and then schedule sessions at times that fit their lives. Jane works in English and does not take international clients.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people spot repeating relationship habits and try different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work; the counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jane will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking how a method feels in practice and adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example fitting a session into a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows continuity of care when circumstances change, while keeping the focus on practical strategies, emotion regulation and the bodily signs of stress that often accompany trauma and midlife transitions.
