About Janine
Janine Ellis offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress and life changes. She speaks in plain terms and helps clients find practical ways to manage difficult emotions. Janine is Janine Ellis BACP and works with adults over 18 who want a thoughtful, relational approach to counselling.
She uses a person-centred style that places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening without judgement and adapting the way she works to suit each person.
Background and approach
Janine draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and make steady change. Janine has three years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her background before counselling was in the music industry, so she is familiar with the pressures faced by musicians and music industry workers and offers specialist support for people from that sector. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as talking through feelings. Typical topics include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, self-esteem and coping with separation or divorce.
Janine also helps with issues such as attachment wounds, body image, guilt and shame, and life purpose. She offers online sessions by video or phone, plus live chat and text messaging for shorter check-ins. The aim is to work together at a pace that feels manageable and to build clearer ways of relating to thoughts, feelings and other people.
How Janine’s approaches work online
Janine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions instead of fighting every feeling. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns and help people change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try. She adapts the style over time if something is not helping, so the process stays collaborative and practical.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins and written reflections. These options let people fit therapy around work, travel and family life while keeping therapy accessible.
