Jane Collings, BACP

Jane Collings is a counsellor with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports those coping with low self-esteem, addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues and mood struggles such as depression.

Jane works to create an open, non-judgemental space. She invites people to talk about what matters most to them and to take small steps towards change. Her approach is practical and down to earth, focusing on what will make day-to-day life feel easier.

Sessions aim to help clients understand patterns that cause pain, for example around attachment, abandonment or codependency. Jane also addresses issues such as body image, eating-related concerns, anger and compulsive behaviours. She pays attention to how past experiences, including adoption, foster care and separation, can affect current relationships.

Her practice balances emotional support with clear, usable strategies. Clients may work on coping skills for overwhelm, ways to manage addictive urges, or tools to improve communication and boundaries. The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Jane is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP. Sessions are offered in English.

How Jane adapts evidence-based approaches for online support

Jane's practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people address feelings that get in the way of daily life. One commonly used approach focuses on understanding patterns between thoughts, feelings and behaviours; this helps with anxiety, low mood and problem behaviours by breaking things down into manageable steps. Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns, helping people understand how past relationships affect current connections and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and try methods that fit those needs. This keeps the process collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a break from work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or conversations without being on camera, depending on what the therapist and client agree. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking so people know what to expect.
