About Jane
Jane Wharmby is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and other life changes. She offers calm, steady support and helps people find practical ways to cope when things feel overwhelming. Jane is a BACP member, practising in the United Kingdom and offering sessions in English.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
That means sessions focus on what the person needs most - talking things through, learning new coping skills, or seeing patterns that have been holding them back. Jane aims to match methods to the problem rather than using one fixed style. Her background includes work in both independent practice and agencies, and earlier roles in the tourist industry and local government.
Those roles gave experience of different kinds of people and practical problem solving, which she brings into sessions now. Over time she has supported people with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and issues like self-esteem and body image. In sessions Jane takes a client-centred stance.
She listens without judgement and helps people notice their strengths. The pace is set by the person in front of her, with the option to focus on skills, reflection, or a mix of both. People who work with Jane often explore coping strategies, build resilience, and plan small changes that fit daily life.
Her approach combines compassion with practical steps, so progress is steady and realistic.
How Jane’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and change repeating patterns. It is often helpful for stress, phobias and low mood.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jane will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that suit those aims. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed, mixing talking, skills work and reflective exercises to fit the person’s rhythm.
Online sessions can be flexible and fit around daily life. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going between work, family and other commitments, while letting the therapist use ACT, CBT and client-centred techniques effectively in different formats.
