Background and approach

Janet offers straightforward, non‑judgemental care. Her approach pays attention to how someone experiences the world, their relationships and their sense of self. Sessions focus on making sense of emotional pain and on practical ways to manage day-to-day stressors.

She commonly helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and stress. Other areas she supports include relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, ADHD and career changes. Janet also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain and body image concerns.

Therapy draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and emotion-focused work. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour techniques to build coping skills when feelings feel overwhelming. Together with the client she tailors the pace and focus of sessions to suit personal goals.

Janet describes her stance as existential and supportive. That means she helps people explore values, choices and meaning without judgement. If someone is ready to make changes, she aims to guide them through the process and help them regain a sense of agency.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work looks at the ways early bonds shape how we relate now. It helps when relationship patterns, trust or closeness feel difficult. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement, creating space to explore feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses practical steps to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. You can try different techniques and adapt the plan as you go, so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and use less data. Live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, care duties and travel, while allowing continued contact between sessions when needed.
