Jane Stevens, BACP

Jane Stevens works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or past trauma. She helps those who struggle with self-esteem, panic, and big life changes. Jane presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to make it easier to talk about hard things.

Jane is a counsellor registered with the BACP, with seven years of clinical experience. She has spent time supporting teenagers and adults across different settings. She also has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and those facing attachment or abandonment concerns.

Her sessions are paced to each person. She encourages people to follow their own timing and comfort. Conversations focus on real problems and practical ways to cope day to day.

Jane draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to build trust and make space for emotions. She also uses somatic and trauma-focused approaches when working with the body’s responses to stress and painful memories.

She aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and reduce the hold of shame or guilt. Jane offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

People who want a compassionate listener and steady guidance through change may find her approach useful. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and what feels manageable for them.

How Jane’s approaches work online

Jane often uses attachment-based methods to help people understand their patterns in relationships and feel more secure in the way they relate to others. This approach focuses on building a steady therapeutic connection and noticing how past attachments affect present feelings and behaviours.

She also employs client-centred therapy, which means sessions are shaped around the person’s concerns and pace. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports each person to find their own solutions rather than imposing techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jane will discuss options and help decide what fits best for a person’s goals, symptoms and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face contact and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit short updates, reflective exchanges or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options support continuity of care and give flexible ways to keep therapy going.
