Jayne Sinclair, BACP

Jayne Sinclair is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low mood, relationship strain and a wide range of life changes. Jayne also supports people with eating and parenting concerns, anger, career direction and issues linked to adoption, attachment and family separation.

She trained as a hypnotherapist and has worked with adults on grief, anxiety, childhood trauma, obsessive thoughts and negative thought patterns. That background informs the way she blends quieter, reflective methods with more active talking approaches. Jayne describes her work as integrative, drawing on different ways of working to suit what each person brings.

Over a long career she has also worked alongside young people in schools, using creative tools such as drawing, writing, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. That experience shapes how she explains things simply and uses practical steps as well as discussion. Sessions aim to break issues down into manageable parts and practise small changes between meetings.

People who come to Jayne can expect a focus on how attachment, past relationships and current patterns affect feelings and behaviour. She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and actions. Hypnotherapy and some Jungian ideas may be used when relevant to the person’s goals.

Jayne supports people who are exploring identity, coping strategies and parenting questions. She encourages plain talk about daily pressures and offers practical exercises to try outside sessions. To begin, she asks people to describe their main concerns and what they hope to change in the near future.
