Jane Stannard

Jane Stannard is an integrative counsellor with 10 years of experience, based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing grief and bereavement as well as other forms of loss - for example the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, loss of employment, or the death of a pet. She also supports clients with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.

As a female Christian practitioner who is older, Jane is able to offer prayerful support for clients who request faith-based input, while also working with people of any or no faith. She provides a listening space where clients can share their personal story without fear of judgment, and she aims to walk alongside them through their grief, worries and sadness.

Jane draws on volunteer counselling experience spanning six years and has worked with issues including bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, financial concerns, anxiety, stress, depression and abuse. People have told her that, even from the first session, counselling has helped lift a weight from their shoulders, reduce anxiety and stress, and increase confidence in making choices.

Her training includes the AQA Level 4 Diploma Standard, a recognised counselling diploma, and a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Social Care. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the Association of Christian Counselling (ACC). She is also a member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO) and has completed ACTO-recognised training to work online and by telephone. Her private practice is insured and she is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Jane offers an integrative counselling approach tailored to each person’s needs. If you would like to explore whether she might be the right counsellor for you, contact Jane Stannard to discuss availability and fit.
