Jayne Halliwell, BACP

Jayne Halliwell welcomes people who are ready to make a change. She introduces herself simply as Jayne and notes that choosing therapy is a first step many find difficult. Jayne writes from experience as someone who has sat in the client chair. She aims to listen without judgement and to treat each person with sensitivity and respect.

Jayne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated to BACP. She has four years of professional experience working with a range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports people who have experienced trauma, abuse, grief, and problems with self-esteem and motivation.

Her work begins by recognising that everyone is different. She encourages clients to share what matters most and to look for answers that fit their life. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and small steps that move them forward.

Jayne also helps people with issues linked to relationships and personality such as attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication problems, blended family issues, and divorce-related strain. She names practical goals together with the person in front of her and adapts the way she works to those aims.

She describes the counselling space as accepting and caring. Jayne supports people through times of loss, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, and through moments when confidence needs rebuilding. Her approach aims to be collaborative and straightforward, guided by each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they suit online work

Jayne describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach uses problem-focused conversations to identify what is most distressing and then plans small, achievable steps to reduce that distress; this helps with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Another commonly used approach concentrates on understanding patterns in relationships and attachment - it helps people recognise repeated responses to loss, abandonment or communication problems and try different ways of relating.

Choosing the right way of working is part of therapy. Jayne approaches this collaboratively, inviting people to say what they want and adjusting methods to suit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It may reduce travel time and help someone have sessions from wherever they are based. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that support continuity of care and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments alongside work, study or family commitments.
