Jane Kelly, BACP

Jane Kelly is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people talk through difficult moments. She aims to offer a warm, respectful space where people can share what matters most to them. Jane acknowledges how hard it can be to ask for support and meets each person with patience and curiosity.

Her work connects that person-centred way of being with several therapeutic methods. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. Narrative therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and try out new, healthier versions of those stories.

Jane also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety in the moment. Solution-Focused tools are used to identify small, practical steps that move someone toward their goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

She has four years' experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Jane supports a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and living with health issues such as chronic pain, illness, and disability.

People who want to explore self-esteem, communication problems, attachment issues, or the impact of life changes often find these approaches useful. She works in plain language and focuses on what can be tried between sessions to make daily life more manageable.

How attachment, narrative and client-centred work translate online

Jane draws on client-centred practice to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities, listening closely and following what matters most. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy and respect and helps people feel heard while they map out what they want to change.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns of feeling and reacting. This approach can help with relationship concerns, abandonment issues and attachment difficulties by making those patterns clearer and easier to change.

Narrative Therapy helps people step back from painful stories about themselves and try telling different, more helpful stories. It can be useful for issues like self-esteem, coping with life changes, and identity questions including LGBT matters.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that suit their goals, preferences and the practical realities of life. That might mean trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness or grounding practices in real time and follow up with small between-session tasks that fit into everyday routines.
