Jane Francis, BACP

Jane Francis is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is worrying them and take things at their own pace. Jane is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and issues relating to ADHD. She also offers support around a wide range of related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and communication problems.

In sessions Jane focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that keep people stuck. She listens, reflects and helps clients notice patterns in how they think and act. From there she works collaboratively to try different ways of responding and building new routines that fit daily life.

Her style is warm and paced to each person. Jane aims to help clients understand the root of their worries, slowly let go of old habits and find better ways to manage emotions and relationships. She explains things plainly and uses exercises from mindfulness and solution-focused work when helpful.

Jane has seven years of professional experience and follows the BACP ethical framework. She describes the first session as an opportunity to understand what matters to the client and to agree simple goals for moving forward.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Jane often works from a person-centred perspective, which means she listens with warmth and follows what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and understood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help people make sense of strong feelings and improve how they relate to others. Mindfulness Therapy includes simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support steadier daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will discuss different ways of working and choose methods together with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for each person.

Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when a short conversation will help. Some approaches, such as mindfulness exercises or solution-focused tasks, adapt well to remote conversation and can be practised between sessions to support change in everyday habits.
