Jane has been warm, inviting and professional in all of our sessions so far. I never feel uneasy and I've had some insightful moments that I wouldn't have had without speaking to her.

More about Jane

I am a Person Centered counsellor, I provide a safe, impartial and confidential space in which to explore your feelings. I walk with you with warmth, care and at your pace. Counselling can help you gain clarity and insight into how you feel, help you to understand, heal, grow and be kinder to yourself, let go of old habits, feel better and live life more fully. Talking to a counsellor in a professional environment, safe in the knowledge that what you say will be listened to in a non-judgemental way, can help you to discover what is making you feel a certain way. Counselling can help you to explore and reflect upon these feelings. It can help you to understand what is at the root of the concern and can help you work to resolve the difficulties. I am a registered member of the BACP and work to their ethical framework. I have over 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I have specialist training in understanding ADHD, Autism and am a menopause ambassador. I am also a couple's counsellor. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jane is very understand and helped me by highlighting possible issues to looking out for and pointing me in the right direction. Excellent at putting perspective on things.

Reviewed April 2024

Jane has been very helpful and understanding with my issues and she has not been judgemental in the slightest about anything. She has been super helpful in guiding me through certain situations. I would definately recommend her to others

Reviewed April 2024

Francis is very understanding and is helping me in many ways to get over my difficult times I am facing.

Reviewed April 2024

Just from my first session with her, she helped me pinpoint my concerns even though I was quite unsure. She could do this by listening to me and asking me thought-provoking questions- even when I didn't have an answer, she deduced from another part of our conversation. She is an amazing listener and I find every session we have to be very insightful.

Reviewed March 2024

Jane is a thoughtful listener, and she provides helpful and relevant questions for me to consider, and insights vs. her experience when I ask for her direct opinion.

Reviewed November 2023

Jane is patient, kind, softly spoken, and understanding. She offers a non judgemental ear and does not judge the people in my life for their behaviour either. She is responsive via message when needed and offers worksheets and reading materials for the time we are apart.

Reviewed August 2023

Jane Francis is very kind and reliable. Our sessions have helped clarify many things for me. Times available are very accommodating, especially for my odd work schedule.

Reviewed July 2023

In my five weeks or so speaking with Jane, I have learned so much about myself. Jane is totally non-judgmental and she really helps me to feel at ease when we are talking. She listens and lets you come to your own conclusions whilst also providing nuggets of wisdom and advice through our conversations. I was treating therapy with a great deal of trepidation when I initially signed up, this has almost totally dissipated and that is largely thanks to Jane. Thanks!

Reviewed July 2023

I only had a few sessions with Jane thus far, but I appreciate her approach during the sessions and I think she is thoughtful and careful about how she responds to my comments and she provided me with tools which I found useful.

Reviewed June 2023

Jane has made me feel really comfortable in our sessions thus far. She tailors our sessions to the type of therapy that would help me specifically and is always punctual. She listens and isn’t afraid to challenge thought processes I have that may need more work.

Reviewed March 2023

I find Jane's insights very useful. She helps me navigate to the crux of whatever issue I'm facing and provide suggestions and alternate view points which I have very helpful. She is supportive and actively listens.
