About Janet

Janet Bellis is a counsellor with NCPS registration and five years' experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationship problems, addiction and trauma, among other issues. Janet has worked in a major UK mental health charity and with clients from many nationalities.

She describes a pluralistic, integrative approach that draws on person-centred ideas, solution-focused work and hypnotherapeutic techniques. Janet aims to work collaboratively and to help people identify what is holding them back. Sessions often involve exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviour and trying practical steps to change patterns.

Janet lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) among the approaches she uses. These give her a range of tools to address things like anxiety, relationship patterns, coping with life changes and emotional regulation.

The profile notes particular attention to young adult issues such as starting work, relationship stress and feeling behind peers. She also works with topics including parenting, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and grief. International clients are accepted and sessions can be arranged to suit different time zones.

Getting started usually involves completing a brief matching questionnaire and booking an initial session. She uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.

How Janet uses online therapy and approaches that help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take values-based actions despite them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck in life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and encourages practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with panic, sleep problems and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can be helpful when relationship issues or attachment concerns are a focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what tends to help, and then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape the sessions over time rather than fixing a single way of working at the start.

The biography states sessions are offered by video, phone or chat, so check which of these formats are currently available before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins when time is tight, and chat can work when typing feels easier than talking. Confirm scheduling and format details during the initial matching steps so sessions slot into your day-to-day life.
