About Jane
Jane Wharmby helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with concerns such as parenting strain, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career worries. Jane is a BACP member with 15 years of practice in both personal and agency settings in the United Kingdom.
Jane uses a flexible approach that adapts to each person. She combines practical talking therapy with skills and exercises that suit the client’s goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and paced to what the person can manage at the time. Before qualifying as a counsellor, Jane worked in the tourist industry and local government. Those roles gave her experience of different people and situations and helped shape her decision to move into counselling work.
Her style is collaborative and warm. She encourages people to notice the strengths they already have and to rebuild them when life makes those strengths hard to see. The therapist supports clients to try out new ways of coping while respecting their pace.
Jane works with a wide range of issues beyond the core concerns, including caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, control issues, body image and forgiveness. She also helps with problems around divorce and separation, hoarding, infidelity and the emotional aftermath of disasters. Therapy focuses on practical steps as well as exploring feelings.
Jane tailors methods such as acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive work and mindfulness to suit what someone needs. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood and better everyday coping.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses short practical exercises and strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, useful for stress, low mood and worry.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. This can help with rumination, sleep problems and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses and can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone suits shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging is useful for ongoing exercises or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life, and they let people try different formats to see what helps most.
