Jane Gracey, BACP

Jane Gracey is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship problems. She works with people dealing with grief, self-esteem issues and life changes. Jane brings a calm, practical approach to sessions and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

She uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person’s needs. That means she listens first, then helps people spot patterns in thoughts and try different ways to respond. Sessions focus on what is useful now and on simple steps to feel steadier between meetings.

Jane has worked in the United Kingdom for ten years and holds BACP registration, which is noted as her credential. Her experience includes supporting people through divorce and separation, attachment and abandonment stresses, and the challenges of caring roles. She also works with issues such as codependency, infidelity, jealousy and isolation.

Practical concerns like blended family tensions, commitment or control issues, midlife questions and searching for life purpose are also part of her practice. Jane aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and find clearer choices when life feels stuck.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to fit the person’s needs.

How her approaches work online and in session

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the person’s pace and helps them find their own answers. This is useful when people need space to process grief, explore identity or rebuild confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical experiments to change responses. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and recurring worry about relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jane works collaboratively to work out what fits best with someone’s goals and preferences. She combines listening with practical tools and checks in regularly to adapt the work as needs change.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or work on the go. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around caring duties, work or other commitments while still following a clear therapeutic plan with a registered or accredited professional.
