My name is Jane Gracey, and as we are new to each other, I would like to share how About Me Therapy can assist you.
Therapy centres around empathy and understanding, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe, valued, and heard. Through counselling or therapeutic techniques, I can help you process your feelings—whether they are from the past or present and overcome challenges. Together, we can focus on enhancing self-awareness, fostering personal growth, and building acceptance and resilience. You may also want to learn practical coping strategies.
We can explore various areas such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, life changes, caring responsibilities, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, among others. Regardless of the issue, I believe you are the expert of your story, and we will work together at your pace.
Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and I am here to provide the psychological support you need during this process.

As an integrative counsellor, I offer flexible counselling services that adapt to the unique needs of each client.
My primary approach is rooted in Person Centred Counselling, complemented by additional training in Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques.
This diversity allows us to explore various methods of working together, ensuring we find the best fit for your journey. Regardless of the underlying theory we use, our therapy sessions will be grounded, understanding, and realistic.
Some clients prefer to set specific goals from the outset, while others may not have a clear focus for their mental health therapy. There is no right or wrong way to begin your path toward psychological support.

How Online Therapy Works
Is online therapy effective?
Yes- online therapy is a convenient and effective way to get support. Remote sessions let you connect safely from home, making it easier to fit therapy into your life. Many people find it just as helpful as in person therapy, as video sessions still allow face to face interaction, including seeing facial expressions, tone of voice and body language- all which help to build the therapeutic relationship.
I can share my screen with you to show you documents and review any techniques you may have been practising - if relevant.
The same ethical guidelines are also followed, ensuring a safe and consistent experience.
What are the benefits of online therapy?
Many people find online therapy offers advantages such as:
Accessibility - sessions take place from wherever you are, so no need to travel, arrange childcare, worry about mobility problems or need pet sitters for example.
Flexibility - no waiting rooms, travel time and more options with appointment slots. Just log in at your session time. Handy especially for those with limited free time.
Comfort - being in familiar surroundings can make it easier to open up and feel more at ease.
Continuity - sessions can continue if you travel for work, go on holiday or move house.
Privacy - no risk of bumping into someone you know.
Is online therapy confidential?
Yes online therapy is confidential, just like face to face therapy. When working online I follow the same BACP ethical framework, UK data protection law (UK GDPR) and the usual standards of confidentiality as in person therapy would.
Sessions are held one to one, using secure video platforms and are not recorded.
Further information can be found in my Privacy Policy.
Do I need any special equipment to have online therapy?
For online video call sessions, you can use a phone, tablet, laptop or computer.
The benefits of using a laptop or computer are the larger screen. It must have a webcam and microphone to access the video call.
Phones have already got cameras and microphones built in, but using a stand can help to keep it steady.
You might choose to use headphones or earbuds on your device to help maintain privacy if you have other people nearby.
Internet connection should be stable and faster speeds can help get a smoother video.
Microsoft Teams is my usual platform, but other options can be discussed. No platform will incur any additional charges.
