She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages, addressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex trauma, chronic pain, parenting difficulties, anger management, addiction, and self-esteem concerns.
Jane has a particular passion and expertise in working with trauma, including complex trauma stemming from childhood experiences, interpersonal relationships, and significant life events. She understands the far-reaching impact trauma can have on emotional and physical well-being and is committed to helping clients reclaim a sense of safety, agency, and self-worth. Jane’s trauma-informed approach is grounded in creating a secure and compassionate therapeutic environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. Her work often focuses on helping clients reconnect with their inner strengths, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and develop strategies to move forward with greater resilience and hope.
In addition to her focus on trauma, Jane has a strong interest in supporting injured clients, recognising the interconnected nature of physical health and emotional well-being. She has developed and implemented pain management programs designed to help clients regain control over their lives and enhance their quality of life.
