Jane Sheppard, BACP

Jane Sheppard is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship problems. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem and career worries. Jane works to make starting therapy feel straightforward and non-intimidating.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, practical steps that fit everyday life. Conversations are grounded and direct, with room to process painful memories when that feels right.

Jane brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted as part of her professional standing.

Her background includes work with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties and relationship breakdown. Jane also supports those facing caregiver stress, codependency, addiction and recovery challenges.

In sessions she blends talking work with practical tools. This can include spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, building stronger communication habits, and making short-term plans to reduce overwhelm. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage daily demands.

People choosing to work with Jane begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a session that fits their schedule. She offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment‑Based Therapy helps people understand their close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It can be useful for worries about abandonment, attachment issues and relationship patterns.

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. The counsellor follows the person’s pace and supports them to find their own solutions, which can help with self‑esteem and confidence work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours, often useful for anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as trust grows and needs become clearer.

Please check the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy when life is unpredictable, while keeping the focus on real goals and everyday coping skills.
