About Janet
Janet Bellis is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has five years' experience. She lists stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and parenting among the concerns she supports people with, along with grief, addiction, trauma and relationship issues.
Janet describes a pluralistic, integrative style. She draws on person-centred and solution-focused ideas alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions aim to identify what is holding someone back and to develop practical ways of coping.
Her background includes work for a major UK mental health charity where she supported people with a wide range of emotional and psychological issues. She has worked with clients from various national and cultural backgrounds and notes sensitivity to different personal contexts.
In practical terms, Janet focuses on building emotional skills and everyday tools. That can mean talking through ways to manage panic, practising breathing and grounding techniques, or working on communication and boundaries. She also offers help with parenting stress and other family-related pressures that adults often bring to therapy.
Janet uses an adaptable approach during sessions and aims to help people form new patterns of thinking and behaving. She invites clients to set clear goals, try small experiments between meetings, and review progress together. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Janet’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies for issues like panic, sleep problems and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns created by early relationships and can help with trust, boundaries and relationship worries.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Janet will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and counsellor try an approach, review how it feels, and adjust the plan as needed so it fits everyday life.
The biography states sessions are offered by video, phone and chat, but prospective clients should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into working days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic techniques they would in person, adapted to the online setting.
