About Jane

Jane Evans is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 28 years of experience. She works with adults who bring worries such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addiction, codependency and issues around intimacy. Jane supports people who struggle to make changes alone and who want practical help to manage difficult feelings and situations.

She has worked in schools, further education, universities, private practice, the voluntary sector and employee assistance programmes. That range means she is used to short-term focused support and longer term therapy depending on what someone needs. Her practice has included helping people facing parenting stress, career shifts, sleep and eating problems, chronic illness and trauma related concerns.

Jane draws on several approaches in her sessions. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take workable steps. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work shape conversations about relational patterns and intimacy issues.

Her way of working is straightforward and conversational. Sessions are a place to name the patterns that keep causing trouble, try small experiments, and practise different ways of reacting. Jane also offers supervision and training on online counselling and has provided consultancy for services introducing e-counselling.

She has worked online for many years and offers online counsellor supervision in addition to client work. If you want to book, follow the site steps to complete the short questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose small actions that align with what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, codependency patterns and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour patterns that cause distress and testing alternatives through practical exercises. This approach often helps with sleep, depression, anxiety and managing strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at long-standing relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current closeness and boundaries; it can be helpful for intimacy issues and recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person and chooses methods together based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the approach can shift if something else seems more useful.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, use webcam work to review exercises together, or choose voice-only sessions when that suits someone better. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know which options to schedule.
