Jane High, NCPS

Jane High uses relational and practical therapy to help people find steadier ground. She blends attachment-based work with client-centred conversations and cognitive techniques. Jane keeps sessions simple and focused so parents reading on a phone can quickly understand what to expect. She introduces small, practical steps that build confidence and ease daily strain.

Jane holds the NCPS credential, which she uses alongside four years of experience supporting people through stress and anxiety. Her work includes trauma and abuse, grief, and rebuilding self-esteem. She also helps with workplace difficulties and managing life changes that feel overwhelming.

Sessions usually begin by listening to what matters most to the person and agreeing clear, manageable goals. Jane uses attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and how they shape responses to stress. She brings in cognitive behavioural tools to break unhelpful thinking and mindful practices to reduce reactivity in the moment.

For people dealing with long-term health issues or chronic pain, Jane adapts exercises so they fit into daily routines without added strain. She offers support for body image, social anxiety, guilt and shame, and isolation by helping people rebuild routines and small connections.

Her style is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Jane works with each person to set achievable steps and reviews them as things change. Taking that first step is often the hardest part, and she aims to make it clearer and kinder.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current reactions to stress. Online sessions use conversations to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating to oneself and others, which can help with anxiety and trust issues.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own goals and experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers gentle listening, reflection and collaboration so the person feels heard and can choose the changes they want to make.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online work can include short exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments tailored to everyday life to reduce anxiety and unhelpful thinking.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then shape a plan that mixes approaches where useful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are normal as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions, or when people prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping a steady course of support.
