About Jane
Jane Ronec is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. She talks alongside clients as they sort out relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, changes at work, and challenges with self-esteem or addictive behaviours. Jane uses a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps feel a little easier.
Jane works from the belief that each person knows their story best.
Background and approach
She helps people name their strengths and build practical steps for change. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, with an emphasis on real-life strategies rather than jargon. With nine years of experience and AASW accreditation from Australia, Jane has considerable practice supporting people after trauma and in difficult life transitions.
She has worked with issues such as anger, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue that can follow caring roles. Her therapeutic toolbox draws on Systemic ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred ways of working, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills.
That mix lets her tailor support to a person's needs and preferences rather than following a single formula. People can expect clear explanations of what will happen in sessions and practical exercises to try between meetings. Jane aims to empower clients to make steady progress toward goals like improved mood, calmer reactions, better boundaries or clearer life direction.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Systemic ideas look at relationships and patterns that shape daily life. Online sessions with this focus help people notice how interactions, routines and roles affect their wellbeing and then try small changes that can shift those patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It supports choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions.
Jane will work with each person to choose the right approach. She discusses goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they decide whether to lean more on Systemic thinking, ACT or skills from CBT and DBT to meet the person’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can suit shorter check-ins or low-bandwidth needs, and messaging provides flexible, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
