About Jane
Jane Sheppard is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career worries. Jane focuses on helping people who find social situations or fear of speaking up difficult, and she can talk through related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions involve talking through recent events, noticing how thoughts and behaviours link to feelings, and trying small changes between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques are often used to map out problems and set achievable steps forward.
Jane also draws on attachment-based and trauma-focused work when past experiences affect current relationships or coping. That can mean looking at patterns in close relationships and how early losses or abuse shape reactions today. Internal Family Systems ideas may appear when exploring parts of a person that feel overwhelmed or disconnected.
People who prefer a counsellor-centred style will find sessions that emphasise listening and building on the client’s own understanding. Jane aims to help people clarify what matters, identify small experiments to try, and review what has or has not helped.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Practical next steps are explained clearly at first contact so people know how to start and what to expect for their initial meeting.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jane mixes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with attachment-based ideas to address both current symptoms and relationship patterns. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing small behaviour changes, useful for anxiety and worry. Attachment-based work looks at how past caregiving and losses influence how people relate now, which can help when relationship fears or abandonment worries are present.She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and identify what can be changed quickly. Together these methods mean the first sessions often focus on what feels most pressing, then shape a practical plan. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process and she will work with the client to find what fits their needs, goals and preferences.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people prefer not being on camera and choose audio-only time to lower visual pressure, while others benefit from face-to-face video for clearer communication. The therapist will discuss which setup suits the person’s day-to-day life and aims during the first contact.
