Counsellor Profile

Jane Steele (Dip. HE Counselling, BSc, MA, Dip SW, MBACP) offers a professional, personal counselling service (Time To Be Heard, see website above)). It is based in Sheffield.

Jane is a Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practises to high standards within its Ethical Framework and has very extensive experience of helping people find ways of coping with life's difficulties.

She has worked professionally for over 25 years as a counsellor, social worker, senior manager, antenatal and postnatal teacher.

Jane runs one-hour individual confidential counselling sessions in both central Sheffield and South-West Sheffield. Rates are reasonable and she offers a free initial consultation which will help you decide whether to continue.
Evening as well as daytime sessions are available.

Counselling offers a one to one confidential service with a trained professional, in a safe, caring, respectful and trusting setting, where you can share worries and distress and explore ways of dealing with your difficulties.

As a counsellor I will bring my skills in listening, empathising, being non judgemental, analysing and making links as well as my experience in helping people make sense of their life and make changes if they wish. I have considerable knowledge of human development and difficulties that arise in that on going process and bring extensive experience of assisting others in coping with all that life can challenge us with.

I practice a model of counselling that integrates various counselling approaches. It has at its basis the importance of a safe, trusting, caring and confidential relationship between counsellor and client. I then draw on different techniques and approaches according to the particular need of the individual client.

I am a Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy http://www.bacp.co.uk/ I practice to high standards within its Ethical Framework.


I have very extensive experience of helping people find ways of coping with life's difficulties. I have worked professionally as a counsellor, social worker, senior manager, antenatal and postnatal teacher. I have achieved high levels of academic learning as well as practice experience in each of these fields. I have also raised my own family and faced challenges to do with difficult early life experiences as well as continuing my own development through meeting on going life demands.

I have worked for CRUSE (bereavement counselling), MIND (a mental health charity), MENCAP ( a charity for people with learning disabilities), Sheffield Alcohol Advisory Service, Parent Lifeline and National Childbirth trust. I also have wide experience as a social worker in hospital, child protection, adoption and fostering settings.

Clients have worked through issues to do with family breakdown, relationship problems, bereavement (including loss of a child), miscarriage, abortion, suicide, child abuse, trauma, life threatening illnesses, disabilities, alcohol and substance misuse, domestic violence, bullying, identity, job stress and job loss, feelings of anxiety and depression, sexuality, adoption etc. There is nothing that is likely to shock or throw me after years of being with people at the sharp end of what life can and does throw at us!
