About Jane
Jane Finlay is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or low. She works with worries such as stress, anxiety and depression, and with problems around relationships, self-esteem and life changes. Jane uses a calm, respectful style that encourages people to speak honestly about what matters to them.
She trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
Over ten years she has worked with people facing grief, trauma, addictions and anger, as well as issues like emptiness, guilt and shame. This experience has shaped a thoughtful approach to emotional pain. Jane is interested in how people hide parts of themselves to cope, and how that can affect close relationships.
In sessions she helps people notice those patterns and make different choices. The work aims to strengthen a person’s sense of who they are and what they want. Conversations with Jane are gently paced and reflective.
She listens for repeated themes and helps connect past experiences to present feelings. That process can help people find new options and feel more confident about change. She supports people to explore their feelings, try new ways of relating, and build more trust in themselves.
Jane acknowledges how hard it is to ask for help and treats that step as an important part of the journey.

Approaches Jane lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Jane uses this approach to help people name difficult emotions and link them to present behaviour. She works collaboratively to find what aspects of the approach feel most helpful, and adjusts pace and focus as the conversation unfolds.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Jane will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to shape a plan that suits each person. The therapist and client decide together what to try and revisit it regularly to make sure it still fits.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping consistent support.
