About Jane
Jane Finlay welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next steps. She explains things simply and offers a calm space to talk. Jane aims to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addiction concerns and related struggles.
Jane draws on ten years of professional experience as a counsellor and holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She focuses on building compassionate understanding so people can explore what lies behind their feelings and actions. Sessions are aimed at helping someone notice repeated patterns and make choices that feel more authentic.
Her interest often turns to how people hide parts of themselves and how that affects close relationships. In conversations she helps people reconnect with what matters to them, and to develop trust in their own judgement. This can support clearer communication and steadier decision-making.
Jane works in a gentle, exploratory way that encourages reflection rather than quick fixes. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past experiences and how they shape current habits. Over time this can free up energy for changes a person wants to make.
She understands that reaching out takes bravery and she acknowledges that first step. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, focusing on small, practical shifts as well as deeper emotional work.
How psychodynamic work translates to online counselling
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier experiences shape current feelings and relationships. It encourages people to notice unconscious patterns, repeated behaviours and emotional themes, helping them understand why they react in certain ways. This approach can be useful for anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and struggles with self-worth.Jane uses a reflective, listening-led approach that develops over time. She will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful, and adjust the focus as goals and needs change. Finding the right method is a shared process, and the therapist and client will check in together about what is working.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments, which can reduce travel time and make steady therapy simpler to maintain. If you want to know which session formats Jane currently offers, please confirm the available options before booking so you can choose what best fits your day-to-day life.
