About Jane
Jane Kelly is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way and brings somatic awareness into sessions. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Jane gently invites clients to notice what the body is telling them as well as what the mind is thinking.
She has four years of practice and holds BACP membership, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
That background informs a straightforward, empathetic style rather than a one-size-fits-all programme. Sessions are tailored to the person’s situation and goals. In practical terms she helps people cope with life changes, bereavement and work pressure.
She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, identity questions such as LGBT concerns, and ongoing issues like chronic illness or grief. Communication and boundary concerns are common topics in her room. Jane uses gentle mindfulness exercises and narrative techniques to help people make sense of their stories.
She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships affect present reactions. The somatic element means the body’s responses are noticed and used as part of the work. People who come to Jane can expect a collaborative pace.
She listens first, then offers tools or questions to try between sessions. If someone wants to stop or change direction, she adjusts the plan to match their needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Somatic therapy here invites attention to bodily sensations as part of emotional work; clients are encouraged to notice breathing, tension and movement and to use these observations to understand stress or anxiety. Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they shape current reactions and communication, which can be especially helpful for people wanting to improve relationships and boundaries. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and choices, offering an accepting space where the counsellor follows the client’s pace and priorities.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will check what feels most useful, test different techniques and adjust according to the client’s goals and preferences. This way of working makes it clearer which methods help in everyday life and which need more time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone work can feel simpler for some, and messaging options support short, ongoing contact or reflective tasks between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while still working with the approaches described above.
