Jana Ogg, BACP

Jana Ogg is a person centred counsellor registered with BACP, a professional association for counsellors, who works with people across a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She supports individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, struggles with self esteem, and the changes that life brings. Her practice also includes work with neurodiversity, addiction, sexuality and gender concerns, disability, homelessness, and the effects of relationship breakdown.

Jana has particular, enhanced experience supporting those who have experienced the loss of a child and people coming to terms with pregnancy. She aims to offer a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space where each person’s experience is treated as unique. Sessions are tailored to the individual so that therapy fits the client’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Recognising that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, Jana positions herself as a supportive collaborator in that process. She helps clients explore their goals and develop practical ways to cope and move forward, meeting them where they are and adjusting her approach to match their priorities and pace.

Person centred approaches and online support

Jana’s practice is rooted in person centred counselling, a way of working that focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people discover their own solutions. This approach is gentle and collaborative, and it can be especially helpful for issues like low self esteem, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions.

Alongside person centred work, Jana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. These practical strategies may include coping skills for stress and anxiety, and structured approaches to managing difficult emotions and day-to-day challenges. The emphasis is on methods that help people build resilience and make meaningful change in their lives.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jana works together with each client to identify what fits best with their goals, preferences, and pace. Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access regular support, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats can help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy or changing lives.
