About Janet
Janet Brown is a counsellor who brings five years of independent practice experience to her work. She welcomes people who are anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationships and life changes. Janet communicates plainly and directly to put worried clients at ease from the first conversation.
She uses a mix of approaches to help people untangle problems. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on practical steps that can make everyday life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - the client sets goals and Janet helps test ways to reach them. Janet draws on attachment-informed thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used when they fit the client's needs. Her experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties around eating or body image. She also helps with parenting stresses, career worries, sleep problems, and coping after separation.
Janet works in English and accepts international clients. Her BACP registration is noted as part of her professional background. Sessions can be delivered in different online formats to suit practical needs and schedules.
How Janet's approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how they show up now; it helps when people want to understand why they repeat the same dynamics. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-centred work prioritises the person's own goals and experience, giving space to be heard and make choices about what to try next.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Janet will talk with the client about their concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest ways to combine methods. The plan can change over time depending on what helps most, so the work stays practical and responsive.
Online sessions offer flexibility that can fit around busy lives. Video calls let people see body language and build rapport, while phone sessions can be easier if connection speed is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflective journalling-style work, or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going across different time zones and schedules.
