About Jane
Jane Francis is a counsellor who works in a warm, person-centred way. She offers a calm space to talk through feelings and to make sense of what is troubling you. Jane draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people notice their emotions and respond to them differently.
She aims to move at each person’s pace and to be straightforward and compassionate. Sessions focus on making small, practical changes people can use day to day.
Background and approach
Jane helps people explore stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, self‑esteem and relationship concerns without hurry. Her background includes seven years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She has worked with people affected by ADHD and has undertaken specialist training in understanding autism and menopause issues.
Jane uses a mix of short-term, goal-focused work and longer conversations depending on need. Techniques include noticing patterns of feeling and thought, practising present-moment awareness, and trying new ways of responding when emotions become overwhelming. The approach is collaborative and practical.
People who choose Jane typically want clear, down-to-earth support and simple steps they can try between sessions. She explains options, respects personal pace, and adjusts the focus as progress is made. The aim is to help people feel more able to manage daily stresses and move towards the life they want.

Online support
How Jane uses emotion-focused and client-centred work online
Jane often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and make sense of strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships and daily life. EFT-style work helps when emotions keep repeating or when someone wants clearer ways to respond rather than react.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres conversations on the person's experience and priorities, and Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness exercises that reduce rumination and stress. Client-Centred work helps people feel heard and understood, while mindfulness gives practical steps for managing anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jane will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they choose methods that fit their needs. This collaborative process means the focus can shift as new concerns appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversation, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth, and messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing prompts between live sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping the same continuity of care.
