Jane FrancisBACP

Jane Francis is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to create a warm, understanding space. She works at a gentle pace and listens without judgement. Jane is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she mentions as the ethical framework she follows.

She aims to help people make sense of stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what lies beneath those feelings. Jane also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, motivation and the challenges of living with ADHD.

Her practice leans on methods that help clients notice and shift unhelpful patterns. She draws on emotionally focused and mindfulness approaches as well as solution-focused ideas to help people find small, practical changes that make daily life easier. Internal Family Systems is part of her toolkit for looking at internal parts and how they relate.

Jane says she adapts the conversation and any plan to each person’s needs. She treats people with sensitivity and respect, and works to help them grow kinder ways of relating to themselves. The tone tends to be practical and steady rather than clinical.

With seven years' experience, Jane combines past work with targeted supports such as specialist understanding of autism, certification as an ADHD coach, and work as a menopause ambassador. She invites people to take small steps towards change and offers supportive, paced guidance.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Jane uses person-centred work to create a calm, accepting space where clients can talk through what’s worrying them. This approach helps when someone needs steady listening and emotional validation, such as during pregnancy or after childbirth when feelings can feel intense.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve mood. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, sleep problems and the overwhelm that sometimes comes with new parenthood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to map and respond to strong emotional patterns, useful for addressing relationship worries and attachment concerns that may surface around pregnancy and childbirth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jane will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you can try methods that fit your situation. She adapts the style and pace so you can test what feels most helpful without pressure.
