A tailored plan to help you move forward
Therapy begins with understanding where you’re at — and building a path from there.
Your first session is an in-depth assessment that forms the foundation for your therapeutic roadmap — a practical, personalised plan that guides your treatment.
Jane’s work is grounded in structured, evidence-based modalities such as CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT. These approaches are known for their effectiveness in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related conditions. Sessions focus on clear goals, meaningful progress, and strategies that help you manage symptoms and navigate change.
