About Jane

Jane Wharmby is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience working in both private and agency settings. She practices in an integrative way, drawing on several therapeutic methods so that her work can be adapted to each person's needs and evolve as they progress. Jane explains that her BACP credential means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and therapists in the UK.

Before training as a counsellor she worked in the tourist industry and in local government, roles that deepened her understanding of people and led her to pursue therapeutic work. Over her career she has supported people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, grief and loss, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns and the impact of life changes. Her practice also extends to areas such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, career coaching, family problems and chronic illness or pain.

Jane believes counselling should be led by the client, and that people already possess strengths that can help them through difficult times even when those strengths feel out of reach. Her role is to accompany clients at a pace that feels right for them, offering practical support and helping them to rebuild resilience. She acknowledges that seeking help takes courage and views that first step as an important part of change.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care

Jane draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and takes a values-based approach to build meaningful action - it can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and a non-directive stance so that the client is supported to find their own solutions - this approach is often helpful for relationship concerns, grief and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it can assist with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jane works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences. As a BACP-registered professional she adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people access support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue work despite geographic limits, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person. Registered professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, accessible care tailored to the client's circumstances.
