Jane Little, BACP

Jane Little moved from a senior management role into counselling after deciding she wanted to do more than workplace coaching and mentoring. She holds BACP accreditation and has worked in the field for 13 years. Jane has supported many people who have experienced domestic abuse and related trauma, and she works with adults across a range of life stages and genders.

She takes a gentle, supportive style in sessions. Jane helps people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. She encourages small, practical changes that suit each person’s life and goals.

Her work blends several approaches to suit the person in front of her. That can mean exploring attachment patterns, using client-centred listening, or applying cognitive strategies to manage distress. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused methods are also used when they fit the person’s needs.

Over the years she has supported people with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also works with people facing life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar and intimacy-related concerns.

In recent years Jane has trained as a clinical supervisor and now supports other counsellors and professionals in their work. Her sessions aim to be warm and respectful, helping people feel heard while they work through difficult experiences.

Jane practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She helps people who want a thoughtful, steady approach to understanding themselves and changing what isn’t working.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how someone connects and responds, and to try new ways of relating in real time. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and support. In remote sessions the counsellor offers space to talk without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them; it suits issues like anxiety, depression and sleep disruption.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will discuss options and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are introduced at a comfortable pace and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and text or chat can be useful for brief updates or when written reflection helps. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping focus on meaningful change.
