About Janet
Janet Brown is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice listed here. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and issues around self-esteem and life changes. She also notes experience supporting LGBT concerns, parenting pressures, sleep problems and career questions.
Janet says she uses cognitive behavioural approaches alongside client-centred ways of working. She describes the client as the expert on their own life and aims to help people talk through problems, notice patterns, and try new coping strategies. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings as well as on talking things through in the room.
Her background includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, training in mindfulness, and work related to domestic violence. Those routes inform how she talks about safety, boundaries and pacing when people have experienced trauma or relationship harm. She also lists attachment-focused ideas for understanding long-standing relationship patterns.
Janet frames therapy as collaborative. She listens without labelling, checks what matters most to each person, and supports decision-making rather than giving direct advice. She aims to help people make different choices and reduce repeating the same patterns.
People who are juggling study, early careers, shifting relationships or big life changes may find this practical, conversational style helpful. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be accepted; confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches you can try online and how they help
Janet uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. CBT is practical and often suits worries about anxiety, sleep, low mood and everyday coping skills.She also works in a client-centred way, which means listening closely and following what each person brings to the session. That approach supports people who need a steady, non-directive place to sort through relationship or identity issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janet will check your goals, discuss what feels useful and adjust methods as you go. That collaboration helps match the style to problems like attachment patterns, grief or stress from life changes.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or irregular schedules. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people choose whether to use video or a different setup depending on their comfort and bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss what will work best during the initial matching steps.
