About Jayne

Jayne Sinclair is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Jayne also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and can help people unpack the practical and emotional sides of merging households.

She uses an integrative approach that brings together several therapeutic methods. In practice this means Jayne adapts how she works to the person in front of her rather than using a single script. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, learning simple skills for managing thoughts and feelings, and practising breathing and relaxation techniques.

Jayne has substantial experience with grief and loss and many years working with anxiety, trauma-related difficulties and negative thought patterns. She is a fully qualified hypnotherapist and has used hypnotherapy alongside talking therapies to support emotional healing. Her background includes work in schools alongside private practice, so she is used to explaining ideas in straightforward terms.

People who come to Jayne can expect calm, practical conversation focused on small, usable steps. She also works with parenting and family concerns from the perspective of individuals trying to adjust to new roles and routines. Sessions aim to help clients feel clearer about decisions and more able to manage daily demands.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Jayne describes the first appointment as a chance to set goals and agree what sort of approach will be most useful going forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations of closeness and trust. Online sessions using these ideas help people notice patterns in their current relationships and try different ways of responding. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of the session and prioritises listening and reflecting back what is said; online meetings can replicate that simple, conversational structure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress and adapts well to remote sessions where homework tasks can be set between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jayne will discuss different methods with clients and decide together what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps set realistic, short-term goals and a practical plan for sessions.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also allow people to use exercises such as breathing, relaxation and written tasks between appointments to build progress into everyday life.
