Jayne Sinclair, BACP

Jayne Sinclair is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and combines several therapeutic styles to meet each person's needs. Jayne describes her work as practical and down-to-earth, aiming to help people make small, manageable changes in their everyday thoughts and habits.

She uses an integrative, client-centred stance and draws on techniques from attachment work, cognitive approaches and hypnotherapy. This mix lets her match methods to what a person brings to sessions, whether that is anxiety, low mood, grief or difficulty with family relationships. Jayne often uses breathing, relaxation and creative exercises in sessions.

Her background includes long experience supporting adults with grief and loss, anxiety, childhood trauma, obsessive thoughts and unhelpful thinking patterns. She also has many years working alongside young people in primary and secondary schools, using creative methods such as art and writing to open up discussion.

Jayne describes practical goals like improving confidence, managing anger, navigating separation, and finding direction in life as common focuses in her work. She also supports people with parenting and fatherhood concerns, body image, eating issues and fertility-related stress.

Jayne encourages a gentle first step and works at a pace people find manageable. To begin she asks people to consider what feels most urgent, then tests different ways of working to find what helps most.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Jayne draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice repeated ways of relating and explore gentler options for connection and boundaries.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. CBT sessions typically involve setting small tasks and practising new ways of thinking between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jayne will discuss goals, try different methods and agree a direction together. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions can be adjusted to what feels most useful.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time, while quieter, shorter check-ins can be arranged when that suits a person better. Talk with Jayne about whether breathing exercises, creative tasks or hypnotherapy techniques will be included and how these will be adapted for remote sessions.
