Jane Stannard, BACP, NCPS

Jane Stannard uses a client-centred approach to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by loss, anxiety, or life changes. She talks in plain language and listens without judgment so people can speak openly about what matters to them. Jane draws on ten years of experience to offer steady support during difficult times.

Her work focuses on grief, stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with depression and major life transitions. Practical concerns such as workplace problems, divorce and separation, blended family issues and end-of-life matters are part of her practice.

Jane combines Client-Centred Therapy with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to meet each person’s needs. That means she offers a warm listening space while also helping people notice thoughts and patterns that contribute to distress. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel less burdened and more able to make choices that suit them.

She is known to work with people of faith and with those who prefer no faith background. Christian clients who want prayerful support can raise that in sessions. Jane holds a BACP membership and NCPS credential, and she has worked in volunteer and private counselling roles.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to the right support and arrange sessions that fit their needs.

How Client-Centred and CBT Work Online

Jane offers Client-Centred Therapy online, which focuses on listening with empathy and helping people make sense of their own experiences in their own time. This approach is useful for grief, low self-esteem and times of major change because it prioritises the person’s pace and priorities.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, panic attacks and workplace stress by teaching simple techniques to manage symptoms and test new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which mix of listening and practical tools fits their goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow fuller interaction, phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write when it fits their schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and day-to-day life.
