Jane Evans, BACP

Jane Evans is a counsellor with many years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression, addictions and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also helps with parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. Jane works to make it easier to find a way forward when things feel overwhelming.

She uses a mixture of practical talking therapies and supportive listening. Sessions focus on understanding what is getting in the way and trying small, manageable changes. Jane draws on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside acceptance-focused and attachment-based ideas to help people build clarity and calm.

Her background spans work in schools, further education, universities, voluntary services, independent practice and employee assistance programmes. Over nearly three decades she has provided both short-term counselling and longer-term therapy to a wide range of people and concerns.

Jane is a BACP member, which reflects the professional framework she follows in her practice. She also supervises and trains other counsellors and has consulted on developing online counselling services. Her experience includes work on online counselling research and conference organising within the UK.

When someone chooses to work with her, Jane aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where they can begin to make sense of difficult feelings. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, so practical steps and longer-term reflection can happen together.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, then choosing actions that reflect a person’s values. It can help when worry, low mood or avoidance are getting in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, and helps people try different ways of relating when old patterns cause pain. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects so the person can find their own answers.

Jane works collaboratively to find which approach fits best. She will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways to combine methods. Choosing a style is part of the work rather than something decided in advance.

The profile notes that she offers online counselling via instant messaging, webcam and telephone, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow use of written tools and shared materials during a conversation, which many people find helpful for learning new ways of managing thoughts and feelings.
