Jane Evans

Jane Evans is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 28 years of experience. She is a senior BACP-accredited therapist who has worked across schools, further education and universities, private practice, the voluntary sector, and employee assistance programmes.

Over the course of her career she has supported people with a wide range of presenting issues, offering both short-term counselling and longer-term therapy. Her practice focuses on helping clients make sense of feelings and experiences that feel difficult to understand and manage, and on finding constructive ways forward when life feels hard.

Jane aims to provide a safe, empathic and non-judgemental therapeutic context in which the relationship and the trust that develops can be a key factor in achieving positive outcomes. She works to help clients understand themselves and their experiences, and to identify ways of resolving personal difficulties and rediscovering a sense of hope and positivity.

In addition to clinical work, Jane acts as a supervisor and trainer online and frequently offers consultancy to services piloting e-counselling provision. She provides counselling via instant messaging, webcam or voice (telephone), and has experience offering both face-to-face and online support to clients, counsellors, organisations and students.

Jane served as an executive member of ACTO from 2008 to 2015 and was a director and organising member of the annual OCTIA conferences from 2012 to 2019. She has been recognised as an Honorary Member of ACTO for her contributions to developing computer-mediated counselling and supervision and the associated training within the UK since 2006.
