About Jane
Jane Sheppard is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career concerns. Jane also focuses on related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and the impact of separation or domestic violence.
She uses straightforward talking therapy to help people make sense of painful feelings. Sessions typically involve listening, reflecting, and gently testing what helps in day-to-day life. Jane draws on approaches that look at how early relationships shape current patterns and on practical strategies to manage distress.
Her approach combines attachment-based thinking with client-centred care and cognitive behavioural methods. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns alongside thoughts and behaviours that keep difficult feelings going. When trauma is involved, she uses trauma-focused techniques aimed at reducing the hold of past events on present life.
Work with Jane often includes short, practical steps and problem-solving alongside deeper reflection about how past losses or family dynamics continue to affect choices. She supports people navigating adoption, foster care histories, dissociation, addiction, and caregiving stress as part of that wider picture.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when helpful. People are encouraged to try small changes between meetings and to review what is working. If someone wants to begin, they complete a brief matching questionnaire and book an initial session to discuss next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when guilt or shame link back to family roles, abandonment worries or attachment difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. It gives space to name painful feelings and decide what matters next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood active, using practical exercises and short experiments between sessions.Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will collaboratively try different methods to see what helps. That way the plan can change if something does not fit.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find that remote meetings make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to keep appointments despite travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce time spent commuting, and make it easier to use written exercises between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide how to structure sessions so they work with everyday commitments.
