Jane Stevens, BACP

Jane Stevens is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She recognises how hard it can be to start therapy and aims to make the first steps straightforward and calm for each person.

She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can go at their own pace. Sessions are shaped around what matters to the individual, whether that is coping with life changes, working through trauma, or building self-esteem and confidence.

Over seven years she has worked in a range of settings with teenagers and adults. That experience includes supporting people on the autism spectrum and those who face attachment or abandonment concerns. Her background has given practical experience with panic, mood disorders, and difficulties such as isolation and communication problems.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, somatic techniques, and trauma-focused methods. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what’s said, and using body-oriented work when feelings are held in the body.

Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and the small steps that make a difference. Jane aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and develop ways to manage intense feelings. She supports clients through practical strategies, steady listening, and a kind, patient presence.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships, understand attachment reactions, and practise new ways of relating to others.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the client make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. This approach suits people who want a steady, accepting space to talk things through.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will choose the approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking. Different session arrangements can make it easier to fit therapy around life and commitments, for example by reducing travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. Confirming the available formats will help you decide how best to make therapy part of your routine.
