About Jane
Jane Finlay offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She helps with relationship worries, struggles with self-esteem, and the confusion that follows big life changes. Jane is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience and speaks English.
She works online in the United Kingdom. Jane uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at patterns beneath current problems. In sessions she invites people to notice repeating themes - for example feeling empty, avoiding closeness, or struggling with trust.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to reveal what is behind those patterns so people can make different choices in daily life. Her style is gentle and curious. Jane focuses on helping people discover parts of themselves that have been hidden or pushed aside.
She offers a space to talk through guilt, shame, grief, anger and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. Practical goals come out of the work rather than being imposed. Jane helps people identify small, manageable changes they can try between sessions.
She also pays attention to how past experiences influence current relationships and decision-making. When someone starts, Jane and the person agree what to focus on and how to work together. She encourages people to recognise the courage it takes to reach out and to use therapy as a place to build trust in their own instincts.

Online support
In sessions the therapist listens for recurring themes and helps the person reflect on how past experiences shape current feelings. The work is collaborative - the therapist and the person decide together what to explore and which changes to try. That shared planning helps keep the work practical as well as reflective.
Online formats can make this kind of exploration easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections between sessions, or people who find writing more comfortable.
Many people find the flexibility of online therapy helps them keep continuity and try out changes between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt psychodynamic tools to video, phone and text so the work remains focused and progressive.
