Jane Gracey, BACP

Jane Gracey is a BACP registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. The BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and registration indicates adherence to professional standards in the UK. As an integrative counsellor, she blends established theories and techniques so that each session can be tailored to the individual needs and preferences of the person seeking support.

She works with people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, life changes, caring responsibilities, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Her practice also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family and caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and control concerns, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, family tensions, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose and midlife transitions.

Jane approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert in their own story and already has strengths to draw upon. She aims to create a supportive, collaborative environment where clients can explore feelings, develop coping strategies and work toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Taking the first step to seek help is acknowledged as courageous, and she offers steady support throughout the process.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience by offering empathic listening and genuine, nonjudgmental support. It helps people build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem and navigate life transitions by centering the client’s perspective and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and replacing them with more effective strategies. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties that affect daily functioning and relationships.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Jane collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments. For many people this accessibility helps maintain consistency in care and allows therapy to continue through life changes and busy schedules.
