About Jane
Jane Sheppard is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career concerns. She has four years of experience and works from a practical, supportive standpoint. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and offers steady, empathetic support.
Her approach draws on several recognised methods to suit different needs. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for short-term goals and practical change.
Sessions are led by the person seeking help and shaped around what matters to them. She uses plain language and clear steps so clients know what to expect. Conversations cover immediate worries and the practical steps someone can try between sessions.
Jane works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and challenges after separation or domestic violence. She also supports people managing caregiver stress, blended family tensions and drug or alcohol addiction related difficulties.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online working together
Jane uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns; this can help when trust, closeness or abandonment issues are causing distress. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to change how someone feels.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions stay focused on practical steps, explore past patterns, or combine both.
If you are considering online therapy, please check the available session options before booking to confirm what formats she currently offers. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on a day when a full session may be difficult. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy during changes in routine, helping conversations stay consistent while you work on stress, relationships or trauma-related goals.
