About Jane

Jane Sheppard is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career concerns. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency and the practical impacts of separation or domestic violence. Jane presents herself as calm and approachable and aims to make the first step feel manageable.

Jane uses straightforward talking therapy to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She draws on client-centred ways of working, which put the person’s experience at the heart of each session. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used when people want practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Her approach also includes attachment-focused thinking to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. Trauma-focused work is offered to help people who have been through abuse or other distressing events. Sessions aim to combine listening with practical steps and short-term goals when these suit the person.

Jane has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She is based in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Practical therapy approaches for online sessions

Jane commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening space where a person’s own experience guides the work. This approach focuses on understanding feelings and building trust, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT offers straightforward techniques for reducing anxious thinking and building new daily habits that support wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jane treats this as a collaborative choice and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. Sometimes people begin with talking and then add practical CBT tasks or attachment-focused exploration as needed.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals like Jane can tailor online sessions to your needs and daily routines.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
