Jane Woodham

Based in Staffordshire, I offer in person sessions at my Cannock practice  as well as online counselling across the UK.

Over the years I've found myself particularly drawn to supporting adults experiencing burnout, chronic overwhelm and the emotional exhaustion that comes from spending so long looking after everyone else.

Many of the people I work with are kind, capable and dependable. They're the ones others turn to for support, yet they're often the last person to ask for help themselves.

I also have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals, especially those who may have received a late diagnosis of ADHD and/or Autism or potentially that don’t have a diagnosis but self-identify as neurodivergent or are querying this and seeking support for their experience of the world.

Life can feel relentless at times. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling emotionally drained, or simply don’t feel like yourself anymore, counselling offers a space to step back, reflect, and begin to make sense of what’s going on at your pace, in your words.

Are you exhausted from trying to keep everything together?

Perhaps from the outside it looks as though you're coping. You're going to work, looking after your family, answering messages, remembering everything that needs doing and somehow keeping life moving.

But inside, you're running on empty.

You may not even be sure that burnout is what you're experiencing. You might simply know that you're exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious or struggling to cope with things that used to feel manageable.

Perhaps you've reached a point where something needs to change, but you're not quite sure what.

You don't need to arrive at counselling with everything figured out. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong or have the right words to explain how you're feeling.

My approach is relaxed, supportive and human. There is no judgement, no jargon and no pressure to simply "try harder". Instead, we'll take the time to understand what's happening for you and what may have brought you to this point.

Counselling for burnout and overwhelm.

Burnout isn't always about work. It can happen when life asks too much of you for too long.

It may be the pressure of work, but it can also come from parenting, caring for others, relationship difficulties, chronic stress, perfectionism or always being the person everyone depends on.

For many women, burnout develops after years of carrying the invisible mental load remembering, organising, worrying and anticipating what everyone else needs, while your own needs are pushed further and further down the list.

For neurodivergent adults, the ongoing effort of masking, trying to fit in, managing expectations or feeling that you have to work harder to meet the demands around you can also be exhausting.

Sometimes there isn't one obvious reason you've reached this point.

It's simply that you've been carrying too much for too long.

You Don’t Have to Keep Pushing Through.

I work with adults facing a wide range of challenges including:

• Stress and burnout.
• Anxiety and low mood.
• Grief or loss.
• Relationship issues.
• Life transitions and identity shifts (this might include things like perimenopause or receiving a diagnosis).
• Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.

Alongside my work with adults, I continue to offer counselling for children and young people aged 10–17 who may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, emotional regulation or life changes.

Why choose me?

My core approach is person-centred, I place your experience, values, and voice at the heart of our work together. I also work integratively, drawing on different models and tools where helpful to support your specific needs.

In sessions, I combine reflective exploration, making space for your thoughts, feelings, and story with practical strategies to help you feel more grounded and resourced in day to day life. My aim is to help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels honest, manageable, and empowering.

Whether you’re looking for support with a specific issue, or just know that something doesn’t feel right, we can work together to explore what’s going on for you and what might help.

Practical info:

Fees - I charge £49.00 per 50 minute session (discounted rate of £44.00 for Trainee Counsellors).

My working days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with early morning pre-work appointments available. I also have limited early evening and Saturday availability.
