About Janette

She describes an integrative, client-guided way of working. Sessions are led by the person's priorities and aim to build understanding of where problems come from. Janette records particular interest in working with people who have health problems, and she has experience with a wide age range of clients.
Janette completed a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision and continues to learn professionally. Her listed approaches include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. The profile notes BACP as her professional body.
In practice she aims to listen and help people gain clearer insight into their lives. Conversations are used to map patterns and develop steps to reduce pressure. That may include practical strategies, reflective work or ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps when relationship patterns, trust or intimacy are causing distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room and aims to offer a non-directive space to talk through problems and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and small behavioural steps. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems and can provide practical tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janette will discuss options with clients and agree together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice may change as the work develops.
The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy day and shorter check-ins when useful. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that help people balance therapy with other commitments.
