Jane Ronec, AASW

AASW social worker with nine years' experience, Jane Ronec works in Australia and conducts counselling in English. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and addictions, and helps people manage relationship and family concerns as individuals. Jane also supports people with grief, self-esteem, sleeping problems, parenting strains and career or life changes.

Jane aims to help clients identify strengths and practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. She uses straightforward conversation, skill-building and evidence-informed strategies. Her work weaves together approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, and elements from client-centred and emotionally-focused work.

Clients can expect short-term strategies for coping alongside conversations about longer-term patterns like attachment, abandonment and control issues. She also offers support for mood conditions including bipolar and broader concerns such as impulsivity, isolation, body image and money stress. Sessions often look at communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame when these are relevant.

Jane describes the client as the expert in their story and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. She pays attention to caregiver stress and compassion fatigue for those balancing caring roles with other demands. Her approach is collaborative and keeps goals simple and concrete.
