About Janet
Janet Bellis is a counsellor who focuses on helping people find practical ways to feel better. She uses a pluralistic, person-centred style and draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Janet holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
She has five years' experience and has supported people through work with a major UK mental health charity. That work exposed her to a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction. Sleep and rest difficulties are among the areas she addresses alongside eating, parenting and self-esteem challenges.
Janet adapts sessions to the person in front of her. She combines person-centred listening with elements from cognitive behavioural and acceptance-based approaches. She also uses techniques drawn from dialectical behaviour therapy and attachment-focused work when they fit the goals being set.
Practical tools and small behaviour changes are a common feature of her sessions. People can expect to talk through what is getting in the way, try new coping strategies, and set realistic next steps for daily life. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Janet works with people from different backgrounds and nationalities and offers evening appointments on UK time. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy
Janet uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centred Therapy as key parts of her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding with empathy so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build small, practical routines. CBT tools are often used for sleep and rest problems, anxiety and low mood because they target daily habits and thought patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and adapts plans as work progresses. This means the choice of techniques can shift as needs change.
Session formats in the original biography are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work or travel. They can reduce the time spent travelling, allow evening appointments on UK time, and help people keep continuity of care when they move or are abroad. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of short check-ins and longer sessions to fit into everyday life, and Janet can discuss what will work best during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
