Jayne Halliwell, BACP

Jayne Halliwell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She understands how hard it can feel to start therapy and aims to make that first step easier for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unseen.

Jayne speaks plainly and listens closely. She invites clients to lead the conversation about their life while offering steady support and practical guidance. Sessions focus on what matters to each person, whether that is low mood, anxiety, trauma, grief or struggles with self‑esteem.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality features, blended family pressures, body image and caregiver stress. She also helps people facing codependency, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence and feelings of emptiness.

Jayne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts her approach to fit each person's needs. She believes the client is the expert in their own life and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to find their answers.

Sessions move at the client’s pace and can include practical tools for managing stress and anxiety alongside opportunities to process past hurt. Jayne aims to help people build confidence, increase motivation and make changes that feel doable in everyday life.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Jayne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people learn skills to manage stress and anxiety through breathing, grounding and simple behavioural steps that can be practised between sessions. Another approach concentrates on processing past hurt and trauma by slowly building safety within the therapeutic relationship and giving space to work through painful memories at a manageable pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jayne will talk through a person's needs, goals and preferences and then suggest options. That process is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses to make sure the method fits the person rather than forcing a single way of working.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video lets people see non‑verbal cues and feel more like an in-person conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler for a quick check-in. Messaging and live chat allow shorter, more frequent contact when that suits someone's routine. These options aim to give flexibility and continued access to a therapist regardless of where someone is based.
