Jayne Lewis, NCPS

Jayne Lewis is a counsellor who brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She welcomes conversations about anxiety, depression, addiction and other pressures that make daily life hard. Jayne works in English and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Jayne begins by getting to know each person using a client-centred approach. That means the first focus is on understanding the individual's needs and priorities. From there she may use approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work or dialectical strategies to respond to what emerges in sessions.

Her work is practical and grounded. Jayne often looks at self-care, routines and relaxation as ways to relieve pressure. She can introduce breathing, simple meditations or reflective tasks if these suit the person's goals and preferences.

Jayne also pays attention to how past experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. She helps people talk through grief, trauma, relationship strain, eating or sleeping problems, and challenges like low self-esteem or compulsive behaviours.

Sessions can be scheduled around different time zones, and she uses a mix of video, phone, live chat and messaging. Jayne aims to set clear steps together so people leave sessions with practical ideas to try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Jayne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports making values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connection and trust. This can help when relationship patterns, jealousy, isolation or intimacy issues cause distress. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - Jayne will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, situation and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers practical ways to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions across time zones and to choose a format that suits mood, energy and daily routines.
