About Jane
Counsellor and BACP member Jane Francis has seven years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, ADHD and grief. Jane offers straightforward, person-centred counselling and draws on a range of approaches to suit different needs.
Jane uses client-centred work to listen to what matters most to each person. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to look at feelings in relationships, and mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness. Solution-focused methods help with practical next steps, and Internal Family Systems ideas can be used to look at different parts of how someone feels.
Her practice includes work around abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues. She has experience supporting people dealing with cancer, ageing and geriatric concerns, and themes linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. ADHD is listed among her focus areas and she is a Certified ADHD Coach according to her biography.
Jane is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she states she works to their ethical framework. She also describes being a menopause ambassador and a couple's counsellor in her background. These aspects inform how she frames conversations about life changes and relationships.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's own experience at the centre of the conversation. The counsellor listens without directing and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people identify and respond to strong emotions that arise between them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and build calm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will talk with each person about their needs and goals and suggest which methods to try. That choice is made together and can change as the work progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in between appointments. They also give flexibility for shorter or longer meetings when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or another available format once options are confirmed.
