Jane Francis, BACP

Jane Francis is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace and feel heard. Jane is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship strains, depression, ADHD, grief and related concerns. Short conversations aim to bring clarity so a person can make small, practical changes that matter in daily life.

In sessions Jane listens for what lies behind feelings and helps people spot patterns. She uses approaches that centre on the client’s experience and on emotional connection. Sessions are collaborative and shaped around each person’s needs and goals.

Her background includes seven years of professional experience in counselling. She has specialist training in understanding autism, works as a menopause ambassador and holds a BACP registration. These elements inform how she tailors conversations and support.

Jane also notes experience with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric matters, chronic illness and pain, body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems. These focus areas are explored gently and practically during sessions.

To begin, people are invited to reflect on what they want to change and to take small steps in therapy. Jane aims to support and empower clients as they work towards clearer thinking, kinder self-talk and steadier day-to-day living.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Jane uses person-centred work that places the client’s experience at the heart of the conversation; this approach helps people feel heard and make sense of their emotions in the moment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotional experience and connection, helping people identify core feelings and respond to them differently. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding skills that help reduce anxiety and increase calm in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to find which method or combination fits best for the person’s goals, concerns and preferences. Together they will try things and adjust based on what helps most.

The original biography does not state which online or in-person formats are offered, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness or grounding practices between sessions to help carry changes into everyday life.
