Jayne Sinclair is a UK-based integrative counsellor with 15 years of professional experience who blends several therapeutic methods to meet each person's unique needs. She works from a holistic perspective, drawing on different techniques to build connection and support people on emotional, relational, and practical levels. Jayne is also a fully qualified hypnotherapist with 13 years of focused practice, helping adults work through grief and loss, anxiety, childhood trauma, PTSD, OCD, and persistent negative thought patterns.

Over the course of her career she has supported people facing stress, low mood and depression, self-esteem and confidence struggles, parenting and family separation challenges, anger, motivation and life direction issues, and relationship difficulties. Her practice also includes coaching for career concerns and support for ADHD. Jayne attends to specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, commitment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, eating and food-related concerns, emptiness, fatherhood issues, fertility challenges, and the needs of older adults.

Jayne has 14 years of experience working with children and young people, including roles in primary and secondary schools alongside private practice. She uses creative methods with young clients - for example art, writing, breathing exercises, relaxation and meditation techniques - to make therapy accessible and meaningful. She recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and aims to accompany people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling, happier life. Jayne holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jayne integrates approaches to suit each person's needs, starting with client-centered therapy which focuses on understanding the client's perspective, building trust, and supporting self-directed change. This approach is useful for people seeking a compassionate space to explore feelings, identity, relationships, and confidence. Attachment-based therapy is used to explore how early relationships affect current patterns - it helps when difficulties involve abandonment, attachment issues, family or adoption-related concerns, and challenges in close relationships. Hypnotherapy is another key part of Jayne's work; in plain terms it uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access emotional material and shift unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, grief, trauma-related symptoms, and persistent negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jayne works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adapts the plan over time as needs evolve. Clients are invited to be active participants in shaping their therapy.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility, reduce travel time, and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective support through these formats, enabling consistent access to care from home or other convenient locations.
