About Jane
Jane Collings is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues related to sexual orientation and identity. Her work also covers areas such as low self-esteem, addiction, grief, intimacy concerns and coping with major life changes.
Jane aims for straightforward, practical conversations in sessions. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people name their difficulties. Together they look at manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions focus on what someone can try between meetings as well as what comes up during them.
Her practice also addresses eating and body image concerns, anger, career stress, ADHD-related challenges and compassion fatigue. Jane works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, adoption and blended family strain. She supports people affected by separation, domestic violence and substance problems.
People come for help with codependency, control issues, dissociation, commitment worries and feelings of emptiness. She also covers family problems connected to these themes. Jane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations to the problem someone brings.
To begin, she asks about current priorities and practical barriers to change. That helps shape early sessions and short-term goals. The emphasis is on clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Jane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anxiety and trauma. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small experiments. That can help with social anxiety and worry by breaking down what feels overwhelming and trying manageable changes.She also draws on behavioural strategies that encourage gradual exposure to feared situations. These techniques involve planning small, repeated steps to increase tolerance for social situations or stressful triggers. For emotional processing after trauma, Jane uses grounded talking methods that help name and pace difficult memories so they feel less overwhelming.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review what feels useful and adjust methods as sessions progress. Goals and preferences guide whether more cognitive work, behavioural practice or processing is emphasised.
