Jane Nicholls, BACP

Jane Nicholls offers straightforward, client-focused counselling for people dealing with stress, anxiety and major life changes. She keeps sessions practical and calm, helping clients talk through difficult feelings and make sense of what they are experiencing. Jane presents herself as warm and non-judgemental so people can feel heard from the first meeting.

She works from an integrative stance, drawing on several therapeutic approaches to meet each person’s needs. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing difficult emotions, and rebuilding self-esteem after loss or change. Practical strategies and gentle exploration are balanced to suit the individual.

Jane is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of clinical experience. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and preferences. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Typical concerns she addresses include relationship and intimacy issues, stress and anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strains, sleep or eating problems, and career worries. She also pays attention to attachment, abandonment, communication problems, control issues and feelings of guilt or shame.

People who choose Jane tend to want a practical, compassionate way to work through problems. To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand trust, closeness and fears of abandonment in present relationships, and can be useful for those struggling with communication or intimacy issues.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, offering empathy and reflection to help people find their own answers for self-esteem and life purpose concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Jane will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods as goals and needs become clearer. This collaborative way makes it easier to try different techniques and keep what works.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters, while phone sessions work well when broadband is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging let people have shorter check-ins, reflect in writing, or fit sessions around busy routines. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid work, family commitments and everyday life.
