About Me - Integrative Counsellor in Leek and Online

I’m Jane Kelly, an integrative counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I offer individual counselling for adults in Leek, Staffordshire, as well as online counselling across the UK.

I have extensive experience supporting adults with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I work in a way that is warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental, providing a safe space where you can explore what’s happening for you at your own pace.

How I Work

As an integrative counsellor, I tailor therapy to each individual rather than using a single approach. My work is informed by transactional analysis, attachment theory, inner child work, CBT-informed techniques, and somatic awareness. This means we may explore patterns from past experiences, understand emotional responses in the present, and develop practical strategies to support change and resilience.

I aim to work in a way that feels grounded, supportive, and empowering, helping you gain clarity, self-understanding, and confidence moving forward.

Experience & Background

Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working as a hairdresser. This experience gave me a strong foundation in listening, empathy, and building trusting relationships. Working closely with people every day taught me the importance of presence, emotional sensitivity, and creating a space where individuals feel comfortable being themselves. These values continue to shape how I work therapeutically today.

Short-Term & Long-Term Counselling

I offer both short-term counselling and longer-term therapy, depending on your needs and goals. While longer-term work can support deeper exploration, many clients find they achieve what they came for within 6 to 10 sessions, gaining greater emotional insight and practical tools to manage life more confidently.

Counselling in Leek & Online

I work with adults (16+), offering counselling sessions in Leek and online therapy throughout the UK. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, or personal growth, counselling can provide a space to reflect, heal, and move forward.

If you’re considering counselling and would like to see whether I’m the right fit for you, I offer a free initial consultation.
