As our counselling and wellbeing lead, Jane heads up the Your Wellbeing team, working with individuals, couples, and corporate clients.
Jane’s varied counselling experience includes working within several not-for-profit organisations, as well as in private practice. She has supported many individuals with mild-to-severe mental health diagnoses. She has also helped survivors of sexual abuse, assault, and other traumas.
Jane previously worked in the field of speech and language with people who have autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. She gained extensive training and experience working with neurodivergence in the therapeutic space.
She is warm and compassionate, and is able to provide online and telephone counselling, as well as meet clients face to face.
Counselling specialisms
Jane specialises in counselling clients who have experienced childhood and adult trauma, and abuse. This might include sexual, emotional or physical abuse, and narcissistic abuse (which may be present in family, romantic and work relationships). Jane also supports survivors of domestic abuse.
Where appropriate, Jane can draw on interventions to process trauma, such as EMDR and the Rewind Trauma Technique, to alleviate flashbacks and traumatic memory triggers.
Jane is also experienced in couples therapy. Whether couples want to re-romanticise their relationship, or separate amicably, Jane offers Imago relationship counselling to help romantic partners improve communication, build connection and move forward.
Jane is also a qualified clinical supervisor and offers integrative supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors. For qualified therapists, Jane can support you on your BACP accreditation journey.
Supporting our staff through Covid-19
Jane supported the clinicians at Your Healthcare CIC through the Covid-19 pandemic. This has given her intensive experience of working with depression, anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, chronic stress, trauma, and all forms of grief.
This period also formed the basis of a research paper. We were able to show that our approach to supporting our key workers during Covid-19 was effective. Staff were demonstrably better able to cope, compared with their peers. That experience now informs our services at Your Wellbeing, under Jane’s leadership.
