About Janice
Janice Dias Dabawala is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with clients on trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and motivation. Her approach is practical and empathetic, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
She uses a mix of short-term tools and deeper reflection. That means practical techniques for coping now, alongside time to understand patterns that keep problems returning. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed formula.
Background and approach
Janice holds BACP, which indicates association with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has eight years of professional experience and has supported people through grief, intimacy-related issues and addictions during that time. Her background also includes work with parenting concerns, anger and career changes.
In conversation she aims to be respectful and sensitive. She listens first, then suggests steps you can try between sessions. This might include simple exercises to reduce worry or short tasks that help change unhelpful thinking.
Many people begin by focusing on one or two priorities, such as reducing panic or improving communication. Over time she helps clients build steady routines and coping strategies so small day-to-day wins add up. Janice encourages honest, straightforward talk and practical follow-through.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete steps to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that help reduce stress and improve day-to-day focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide whether brief solution-focused steps, CBT tasks or mindful practices suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion that can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text-based messaging can fit into a tight schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try techniques between sessions.
