About Jane
Jane Kelly is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way and uses Narrative ideas to help people make sense of their stories. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Jane is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of practice experience.
Her sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She listens for the recurring themes in someone’s life story and helps them notice patterns that they might want to change. Conversations are shaped around the client’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda, so people set the pace and goals. Jane uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and behaviour.
She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused tools to help with immediate coping and practical steps forward. This mix aims to help people feel steadier and more able to manage difficult days. She works with a wide range of concerns, including grief, parenting strain, career stress, self-esteem issues, and challenges linked to long-term illness or caregiving.
Jane also supports people dealing with identity and LGBT-related matters, communication problems, and life transitions such as separation or loss. Sessions can take different practical shapes to fit a person’s life. Jane wants therapy to be collaborative, down-to-earth and focused on helping people take manageable steps toward feeling better.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jane directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and Attachment approaches work online
Jane combines Narrative and attachment-based ways of working in straightforward, practical terms. Narrative Therapy helps people name the stories that shape their feelings and behaviour and then look for alternatives that fit better. This approach can help with issues like self-esteem, relationship patterns and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences affect current reactions and connections; it can be useful when people notice repeating patterns in close relationships or struggle with trust and emotional safety.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will explore your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and flexible, with regular check-ins to see what is helpful and what should change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls work well when you want face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs and give practical ways to keep consistent contact with a therapist.
