About Janet
Janet Brown is a counsellor who aims to make the first step feel less daunting. She greets people with a calm, non-judgemental approach and focuses on helping them work through everyday problems. Janet frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their own life.
She draws on client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural tools and attachment-informed thinking. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Janet listens first, then helps people try techniques that suit their situation.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to make their own choices rather than telling them what to do. Janet has five years of experience working directly with people who face a wide range of concerns. Her work covers anxiety, stress, depression, sleep problems and relationship difficulties.
She also supports people coping with grief, trauma and eating or body-image worries. Her practice includes attention to attachment and communication patterns, and she offers mindfulness skills to help people manage unhelpful thoughts and strong emotions. Conversations aim to be warm and respectful, and she avoids labels when talking about problems.
Janet is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with individuals in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients for online sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged to fit each persons schedule.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-informed work looks at how early patterns of relating affect current feelings and relationships. Online sessions use conversation to map those patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve connection.Client-centred counselling places the persons own experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and make choices that fit their life.
Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions this can include short practical exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments to try between meetings to reduce anxious or unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide which combination of methods to try. That collaboration continues as progress is reviewed and methods are adjusted when needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging can fit around busy days. These options help people make therapy part of their routine and access support from where they are.
