About Jan
Jan Jones is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and parenting pressures. She uses a person-centred approach and listens for strengths you can build on. Jan has 16 years of professional experience and works with people dealing with trauma, depression and relationship difficulties related to intimacy and family roles.
Her work begins by hearing your story and noticing the parts that are helping you cope.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to find small, realistic steps forward. She uses straightforward language and a calm style to keep conversations clear and focused. Jan draws on trauma-focused methods when past events affect daily life.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with overwhelming thoughts and to ground moments of distress. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, choices and how values shape decisions. People come to Jan for help with grief, low self-esteem, anger and LGBT-related concerns as well as complex issues such as attachment problems, codependency and chronic illness.
She encourages practical strategies alongside reflective work so progress can be noticed between sessions. Sessions are offered via a range of online formats and are adapted to each person’s needs. Jan emphasises collaboration and helps clients agree goals they find useful.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and she aims to make that step straightforward and respectful.

How Jan’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help someone name feelings, notice strengths and choose steps forward. This suits people who want a supportive, non-directive space to work through parenting stress and anxiety.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Online sessions teach short exercises that can be practised between meetings to manage overwhelming thoughts and mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jan will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively rather than imposed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less data and can fit easily into a work break, live chat offers a real-time but text-based check-in, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family life and practical commitments.
