About Janis
Janis Dreosti is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and sleep difficulties. She works with depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, anger, career stress and ADHD-related challenges. Janis aims to create a calm session where people can talk about what matters to them and start to feel less overwhelmed.
Her style is relaxed and interactive. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and practical steps to get there. She explains why certain feelings and reactions happen and offers simple techniques to manage them day to day.
Janis uses a mix of counselling methods tailored to each person. She draws on client-centred listening to understand the person, and on solution-focused and cognitive approaches to set clear, achievable goals. Mindfulness tools are offered to help people notice and ease stressful thoughts.
When trauma is part of the picture, Janis concentrates on the effects left behind rather than repeatedly asking for details of the event. Work proceeds at the client’s pace, with techniques to reduce distress and improve functioning now.
She has five years' experience and has worked with a local charity supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, PTSD and depression. The first session centres on what is happening now, what impact it has, and what the client hopes to gain from counselling.
Approaches and online counselling options
Janis uses client-centred listening to start from the person’s experience and priorities, helping people feel heard and shaping sessions around what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve rest. These approaches are used alongside solution-focused work to set clear, achievable goals and steps to reach them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janis will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. The therapist treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress is made.
