Jane Finlay, BACP

Jane Finlay is a UK-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. With over ten years of clinical experience, she has supported people facing a wide range of difficulties, from stress and anxiety to relationship challenges, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, depression, anger, bereavement, and related issues.

Her work is grounded in a compassionate, person-centred stance that values each individual’s unique history and strengths. She is particularly interested in the idea that people sometimes adopt protective masks in daily life and in intimate relationships, and she helps clients explore how these patterns affect connection and wellbeing. Jane aims to create a space where individuals can gradually reconnect with their authentic selves and build trust in their own inner guidance.

Through guided self-understanding, she supports people to shift perspective, increase confidence, and find the motivation to pursue meaningful change. Jane describes therapy as a collaborative process and offers gentle, nonjudgemental support while clients explore feelings, identify helpful changes, and develop practical ways to feel better. She recognises the courage it takes to seek help and encourages people to acknowledge that first step.
