Jane Gracey

Jane Gracey is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck or unsure what comes next, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, self‑esteem problems and questions about life purpose. Jane helps people who are facing midlife questions, separation, caregiver strain or the emptiness that can follow big change.

Her approach draws on Client‑Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other methods she blends to suit individual needs. Sessions focus on listening, identifying patterns that cause distress, and trying practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when these are relevant to a person’s worries.

In conversation she helps people name what matters, sort through competing options, and practise small experiments that reveal what works. That might mean tracking thoughts and moods between sessions, testing a new way of setting boundaries, or trying different ways to manage worry and low mood.

People contact Jane about problems at home and at work, repeated relationship difficulties such as jealousy or infidelity, complex blended family dynamics, and the strain of caring responsibilities. She also supports those navigating divorce, commitment doubts, or the loss that follows bereavement.

Practical steps are part of the work: clarifying priorities, building simple routines, and planning short actions to reduce overwhelm. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session to see how the counsellor’s style fits their needs.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation. The counsellor reflects what the client says, supports their own sense of direction and helps them identify personal strengths to draw on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will talk with the client about their goals, past ways of coping and what feels manageable, then together they will decide which ideas to try and how to adapt them. That collaborative process helps clarify whether more listening or more practical tasks are needed at any stage.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows quick check‑ins, written follow ups or practical homework to be carried out between meetings, which supports steady progress without demanding large blocks of time.
