About Janet

Janet Bellis is a counsellor who uses a pluralistic, person-centred approach. She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and is registered with NCPS. Janet aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or emotional strain.

She draws on several evidence-informed methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. That can mean working on thoughts and actions, looking at attachment patterns, or strengthening emotional skills. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings, not just talking about problems.

Janet has five years of experience and has supported clients through one of the UK’s leading mental health charities. That background gave her experience with anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma including abuse, and issues around self-esteem and confidence. She has also worked with concerns such as addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with life transitions.

She is attentive to cultural and personal context and works collaboratively to find what helps in each situation. Janet describes her room as warm and non-judgemental and aims to help people build resilience and practical coping tools. She also lists adoption and foster care among her additional focus areas.

If you prefer sessions outside the UK, she accepts international clients and offers flexible scheduling including some evening appointments. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes because it focuses on small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns in thoughts and behaviour and teaches skills to change them. This approach suits problems such as panic, phobias, sleep issues and many forms of anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree together which ones to try first. Janet aims to adapt methods to your goals and preferences, so therapy is a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography notes sessions can be held by video, phone, or chat, so check the exact options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing evening appointments. They also permit shorter check-ins when that is useful, and let people join from different locations if they live abroad. Confirm practical details and scheduling during the Start Therapy process so sessions match your needs.
