About

About Jane

Jane Collings is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports clients facing trauma, LGBT-related issues, addictions and challenges with self-esteem and intimacy.

She aims to make the therapy space open and non-judgemental so people can speak honestly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than labels.

Background and approach

Jane emphasises small, manageable changes that build toward a steadier life. Her background includes nearly a decade working with adults on a wide range of concerns, from grief and anger to career stress and compassion fatigue. She has experience addressing eating and food-related issues, ADHD-related struggles and the impacts of abuse.

This helps her notice patterns that can keep problems repeating. In sessions she listens for how past experiences affect current choices and relationships. She works collaboratively to set goals and try different ways of coping.

Progress tends to be gradual and practical, with space to review what helps and what does not. People who choose therapy with Jane often want a straightforward, compassionate approach. She explains options plainly and supports clients as they test new ways of handling tough moments.

If you want to explore change, she can help you plan next steps.

Online support

How therapy approaches are used online

Jane draws on well established therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking; this helps reduce anxiety and low mood by changing how everyday situations are interpreted. Another approach looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships, helping people notice recurring patterns and try different responses.

Choosing the right method is a joint process. Jane works with each person to set goals, try approaches and review what helps. She adjusts the way she works based on a client's needs, goals and preferences so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options the therapist currently offers before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter, shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try different ways of working without changing location, which can make regular sessions more manageable.
