About Janet
Counsellor Janet Bellis, NCPS, has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom and beyond. She sees clients for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem and ADHD. Sessions may also address addictions, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career questions and coping with major life changes.
Janet uses an integrative style. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based methods, client-centred work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She adapts these approaches to what each person needs rather than using a single method.
Her practice grew from work with a UK mental health charity and diverse individual clients. That background informs a straightforward way of talking about emotional difficulty and practical steps to manage it. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change.
In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. That may include learning practical skills from CBT or DBT, working on attachment issues, or noticing values and actions with ACT. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Janet offers appointments that can suit different time zones and schedules. She works in English and is open to people based outside the UK. Before booking, clients are invited to confirm the current session formats and times.
How Janet uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Janet commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and then focus on actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for people who feel stuck.She also uses attachment-based work to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. This can help with trust, communication and recurring relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy is another part of her practice and means conversations are shaped around the person's own concerns and pace rather than a rigid protocol.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography lists video, phone and chat as session options but clients should confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel and allow evening appointments. Some formats suit quiet, longer discussions and others work better for short check-ins or when being on camera is difficult.
