About Jane
Counsellor Jane Gracey is BACP registered and has 10 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem concerns and depression. Jane also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiving strain, blended family tensions and life purpose questions.
Jane describes herself as an integrative counsellor. She adapts parts of different approaches to meet each person's concerns. Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients talk about their current problems and try out ways to cope between meetings.
Her work often includes helping people understand patterns in their relationships and how earlier attachments affect present behaviour. She uses client-centred methods to listen and build on a person’s own strengths. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.
Jane has supported people through bereavement, separation and midlife change. She has worked with those feeling isolated, stuck or empty, and with people facing infidelity, jealousy or control issues. Her experience covers both short-term problem work and longer conversations about life direction.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Jane asks about what matters now and what a person wants to change. She keeps work focused on realistic steps and coping strategies. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session via the online counselling options button.
How Jane uses client-centred and CBT approaches online
Jane uses client-centred ways of working to listen and reflect what matters to a person. This approach focuses on understanding someone’s view and building on their strengths. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings such as grief, isolation or relationship hurt.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking by testing thoughts and trying new behaviours in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. Jane works with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping contact when travel is difficult. The specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can offer shorter check-ins when needed, and ways to practise new skills between meetings.
