Jan Jones, NCPS

Jan Jones offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She introduces short, clear steps so conversations feel manageable. Jan meets people where they are and focuses on building confidence and everyday coping skills.

She works from a person-centred perspective that puts the client's priorities first. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what matters to the individual. Jan listens for strengths and helps clients use those strengths to face difficult feelings and decisions.

Jan also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and sensations without judgement. These techniques are simple to learn and can be used between sessions to steady strong emotions. When trauma is part of the picture she uses trauma-focused methods to address painful memories at a pace the client sets.

Over 16 years Jan has supported people with relationship and family tensions, grief, intimacy concerns and issues around identity and sexuality. She also helps with anger, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and dissociation. Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment themes that often show up in adult relationships.

Jan holds the NCPS credential, which is listed here as provided. She practises in the United Kingdom and meets people in English. If someone is unsure where to begin she encourages a short initial conversation to see if the way she works suits them.

How Jan's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The counsellor gives space for clients to tell their story and reflect, helping them find their own answers and build confidence. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judging them; these practices help with anxiety, stress and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jan will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and decide collaboratively whether person-centred listening, mindfulness, trauma-focused work or a combination fits best. The plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is useful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy working around work, caregiving and daily life while still covering the same therapeutic approaches used in person.
