Jane Collings, BACP

Jane Collings is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. She also helps with low self-esteem, addiction struggles, grief, intimacy-related matters, eating concerns, anger, career pressures, depression and coping with life changes. Jane holds BACP accreditation and has nine years of professional experience.

She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about plainly. Sessions focus on understanding everyday thinking patterns and habits that get in the way of daily life. Jane encourages small practical steps so people can try things between meetings.

Her approach is collaborative and supportive. She listens for how past experiences influence current reactions and helps people build clearer ways of thinking and behaving. Work often covers relationship patterns, attachment themes and issues linked to adoption or abandonment when these are relevant.

Jane is experienced in addressing problems connected to substance use, eating and body image, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people troubled by dissociation, control issues, codependency and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence. The focus is on practical change rather than labels.

If you are considering therapy, Jane asks clients to be ready to talk honestly about thoughts and everyday habits. She uses the BACP framework as a guide and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Jane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and everyday habits. One common approach is working with thought patterns to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer, more balanced ways of looking at situations; this helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach focuses on behaviour and small habit changes - setting simple, achievable tasks that build into steadier routines and better coping day to day.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and agree on methods that suit your goals and preferences. Work may adapt over time as your needs change, and Jane will check in regularly about what is or isn't helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when you need them and offers flexibility around where and when you meet.
