Jane Sheppard

Jane Sheppard is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems and career uncertainty. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and the effects of adoption and foster care.

In sessions she listens without judging and keeps things straightforward. She uses approaches that focus on relationships, here-and-now problem solving, and practical ways to reduce distress. Clients can expect conversations that centre on what is happening now and what small steps might help.

Her background includes work with people recovering from difficult relationship endings, domestic violence, and separation. She also supports those managing caregiver stress, addiction issues, and patterns like codependency or avoidant and dependent personality traits. The goal is to reduce immediate overwhelm and build clearer options for daily life.

Jane often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. Attachment-based and trauma-focused ideas inform how she thinks about relationship patterns and past hurt. Practical exercises and short-term goals are used when they fit the persons aims.

Sessions aim to be direct and practically helpful. People who come because they feel stuck at work, unsure about their next steps, or worn down by repeated relationship problems will find attention to both feelings and actions. To start, the site booking flow asks a few questions and then you can arrange the first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships. It helps when past abandonment or attachment issues shape how someone connects today. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person brings. It supports people who need space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then recommend which methods to try first. That choice can change as progress is made, with the client involved in decisions about direction and pace.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or phone in ways that suit their day-to-day routine. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises normally done in person so they work in an online setting, focusing on realistic steps you can take between sessions.
