Support for stress, grief and life changes
About Jane
Jane Wharmby helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She works with issues such as depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Jane draws on 15 years of practice to offer steady, practical support for everyday problems.
Jane is a BACP member, which means she follows the Trade Association's professional standards. Before training in counselling she worked in the tourist industry and local government, experience that shaped her interest in people and everyday pressures.
Background and approach
Her approach is flexible and centred on the person who comes to therapy. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, using clear tools and conversations to build coping skills and notice progress. Jane adapts the way she works as clients move forward, matching techniques to the issue at hand.
She draws on several well-known methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and client-centred listening. Dialectical behaviour therapy also informs her work when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Typical topics include coping with loss, career stress, family problems, chronic health challenges, body image and managing control issues.
Her aim is to help people find practical ways to manage feelings and to regain confidence in everyday life. Clients are invited to set the pace and focus of the work. The therapist emphasises small steps, realistic goals and building the skills needed to handle future challenges.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasises noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when someone feels stuck by teaching ways to move forward despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for longer sessions, phones work well when bandwidth is lower, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in writing between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving or energy levels and help people fit support into busy lives.
