Therapeutic Approach
Jane uses a person-centred, evidence-based and collaborative approach to assessments and intervention. She helps clients, family members, and those involved in their care, employers/teachers gain a better understanding of the person’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses with practical strategies and recommendations, including readiness to return to work/study or driving.
Jane also works with individuals who experience difficulties such as anxiety, depression, following a brain injury. She can identify difficulties with adjustment, grief and loss, and support clients to clarify what they value so that they can make positive choices towards improved wellbeing and quality of life. She draws on the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology and coaching frameworks.
