About Janet
Janet Bellis is a counsellor who focuses on practical, person-centred therapy. She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and is registered with NCPS. Janet aims to make sessions straightforward and usable for daily life.
She uses a flexible, pluralistic approach that draws on client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions tend to concentrate on what is causing distress now and on small steps that can change patterns. Janet listens carefully and helps people try new ways of coping and thinking.
Background and approach
Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and phobias. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, parenting strain, career changes, addictions and sleep problems. Additional interests include attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress and neurodiversity-related challenges.
Janet has around five years of experience and has worked with a major UK mental health charity. That background informs a practical style that balances short-term tools with longer-term emotional work. She is used to helping people from diverse cultural backgrounds and different life stages.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she schedules evening appointments in UK time. The aim is to help people build resilience, try new behaviours and feel more in control of day-to-day life. If you want a calm, straightforward approach, Janet can help you take the first step.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, offering practical exercises for issues like low mood, panic and phobias. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects so the person can find their own solutions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, and adapts as needs and goals change. That means sessions can shift between practical exercises, reflective conversation and skills practice depending on what helps most.
Online formats offer flexibility and choice. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can support steady, paced work over time. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while allowing consistent contact with a registered professional regardless of location.
