About Jane
Jane Kelly is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She lists stress, anxiety, family issues, self-esteem and depression among the concerns she helps people with. Jane also notes work around life changes, grief, parenting and relationship difficulties.
Jane uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person's perspective central. Sessions are practical and based on what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed programme. She listens for patterns in relationships and for moments that might point to different ways of responding.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at difficulties in close relationships. That can help when abandonment, communication problems or commitment issues come up. Narrative work is used to look at the stories people tell themselves and whether those stories still fit their lives.
Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with stress and anxiety, using simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily responses. Solution-focused methods are used when someone needs clear steps and short-term goals to make things feel more manageable.
Jane works with people who are dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, autism and avoidant personality features among other concerns. She also names LGBTQ issues, career strain and anger as areas she supports. The emphasis is on talking through what is most pressing and finding practical next steps.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Jane often combines client-centred work with attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience and priorities, while attachment-based approaches explore patterns in close relationships and how those patterns influence current stress and anxiety.Mindfulness is offered as a way to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Simple practices taught during sessions can help with anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions between appointments. Narrative techniques are also used to examine the stories someone tells about themselves and to try out different perspectives when those stories cause distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest steps to try and review progress collaboratively.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-in appointments when needed, and remove the need to travel to sessions. Registered and accredited professionals offer this form of support and will shape sessions to practical needs and availability.
