Jane Cilliers, NCPS

Jane Cilliers is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She holds an NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. Jane aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable and respectful. She keeps conversations simple and focused. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with space to talk about grief, relationship strain, sleep problems and parenting pressures. She also helps with career worries, low self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes. Jane pays attention to how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. That perspective helps when abandonment, attachment or communication problems are a concern. She also offers support for people dealing with caregiver stress, ageing issues and the effects of isolation or compassion fatigue. Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working so the person sets the pace. Work can include looking back at recurring patterns through a psychodynamic lens when helpful. The emphasis is always practical - finding clearer ways to manage emotions and rebuild motivation. Sessions use plain language and a calm tone. Jane tailors goals and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. She encourages small steps that fit everyday life and helps people notice progress along the way.

Working online with attachment and client-centred approaches

Jane uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions; this can help when abandonment, attachment or communication problems are causing distress. Client-centred therapy is also central to her work, which means sessions follow the person's pace and priorities and focus on what feels most helpful now. Psychodynamic thinking may be used to notice recurring patterns and understand deeper sources of emotion when that feels useful.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then shape the work together so it fits those needs. That collaboration helps decide whether short-term practical steps or a deeper look at patterns is most appropriate.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or work better with lower bandwidth, and chat or text can fit into busy days or provide a gentler way to reflect between meetings. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caring responsibilities or limited free time.
