Jane Wharmby, BACP

Jane Wharmby understands that certain times of year - such as the turn of the year or the long, grey winter months - can feel especially heavy and isolating. She acknowledges that when someone feels they have no one to talk to or that no one understands, daily life can become harder to carry, and taking a first step toward help can feel daunting. Arriving on Betterhelp can represent that initial move away from darker places and toward support.

She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) in the United Kingdom and brings 15 years of professional experience gained across both private practice and agency settings. As an integrative counsellor she is trained in and uses different counselling techniques so the work can be tailored to each person and adapted as progress is made. This flexibility allows therapy to be shaped around the individual rather than forcing the individual to fit a single method.

Before qualifying as a counsellor she worked in the tourist industry and in local government, roles that developed her understanding of people and helped point her toward a deeper interest in counselling. She has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, coping with grief and loss, and depression. Her approach is client led - she looks for the strengths a person already has and supports them to reconnect with those resources. In practice she aims to walk alongside clients, offering support while allowing them to move at a pace that suits them as they build resilience. Seeking help requires courage, and taking that first step can be an important part of change.
