Jane Stannard, BACP, NCPS

Jane Stannard is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating loss, life changes, and ongoing emotional difficulties. With ten years of experience, including six years of volunteer counselling, she works with individuals facing bereavement, relationship breakdown, workplace strain, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and other challenges such as divorce, blended family issues and end-of-life concerns. She aims to provide a listening space where clients can speak freely about their fears, worries and sadness and feel heard without judgement.

Clients visit her seeking relief from stress and panic, practical help to manage their emotions, or support in rebuilding confidence and making decisions. People who have worked with her report feeling a weight lifted from their shoulders, reductions in anxiety and greater confidence in choosing their next steps. Jane offers support to people of faith and those without faith; she can provide prayerful support for Christian clients who request it while also working with a wide range of beliefs and backgrounds.

She holds professional credentials including BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and NCPS. Jane encourages prospective clients to get in touch to explore whether they are a good fit and to begin a collaborative process of healing and adjustment.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Jane Stannard draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work in ways that suit each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive space where the client’s own experience and pace lead the way - it can be particularly helpful for grief, self-esteem issues and navigating life changes. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, panic and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Jane approaches this collaboratively. She works with clients to understand their goals, preferences and the challenges they bring, and then suggests methods that fit those needs. Over time the chosen approach can be adapted as progress unfolds and priorities change.

Online therapy with Jane is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. Registered professionals and therapists can work effectively in these formats while keeping the focus on practical tools, emotional processing and forward movement.
