Jane Stevens

Jane Stevens is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can move at their own pace. Jane welcomes different emotions and identities and aims to make difficult conversations feel manageable.

She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of each session. Jane also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Somatic and trauma-focused methods inform her work when physical responses and past hurt need attention.

Jane has seven years of practice across a range of settings. Much of that time included supporting teenagers and adults on the autism spectrum, and she continues to bring that experience into her sessions. Her approach is practical and grounded, focusing on what helps clients feel steadier day to day.

Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs and pace. Jane emphasises collaboration - clients and counsellor plan goals and steps together. She values gentleness, empathy and straightforward tools that people can use between sessions.

People come to Jane for help with self-esteem, mood struggles, panic and trauma-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with relationship wounds, feelings of isolation and life transitions. The aim is to build clearer self-understanding and workable ways to cope.

How this approach works online and in session

Jane combines client-centred work with trauma-focused and somatic ideas to help people understand feelings and reactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person sets the pace and priorities. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past hurt affects current life and uses practical steps to reduce distress. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily responses so that emotional change can happen through noticing and small physical practices.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk through goals, try different ways of working, and adjust based on what helps most. Sessions are shaped together to match needs, comfort and preferred pace rather than imposing a single method.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, such as shorter check-ins or sessions that sit between work commitments. It can also reduce travel time and allow people to meet their counsellor from different locations, while the practicalities of each format are arranged at booking.
