Hello, I'm Jane. I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a member of the ACC as well as the BACP. As well as having my own private practice, I also work as a Senior Associate at a London - based counselling service, offering counselling support to individuals navigating a wide range of life experiences.
I would describe myself as a highly relational therapist-relaxed yet professional-and someone who genuinely cares about people and their stories.
About me and my therapy practice
My counselling approach is grounded in creating a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to bring all of who they are. I believe that we all need to feel seen, heard, and valued, and I’m committed to walking alongside you, whether you're facing current challenges or wanting to explore deeper patterns rooted in the past.
I have a strong interest in how our early experiences shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others today. I believe that by understanding the past, we can begin to make meaningful changes in the present and develop new, healthier ways of coping and living.
I use a range of therapeutic models depending on each client’s individual needs, drawing from:
Person-Centred Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Psychodynamic Therapy
Systemic Therapy
Solution Focussed Therapy
This integrative approach allows me to work flexibly—whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need someone to talk to about life’s everyday struggles. For some, counselling may involve processing past wounds; for others, it’s about developing practical tools for the here and now. Either way, we will work together at your pace.
Practice description
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling and have experience supporting clients at different stages of life. My training and ongoing work have given me a rich "toolbox" of therapeutic techniques, which I tailor to best support each person I work with.
If you’re looking for someone to come alongside you—whether to process something from your past, make sense of your emotions, or simply have a space to be yourself—I’m here to help.

I offer a free 10/15 minute online meeting ( on zoom) prior to our initial session. This gives me the opportunity to meet you and see if I feel I can help you and also for you to meet me and see you feel I might be the right therapist for you.
