About Janice

Janice Stack is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with common pressures people face in early adulthood such as stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and problems with motivation. Janice also supports people managing relationship difficulties, grief, and changes linked to work or study.

Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and on building everyday skills that help with mood, sleep and coping under pressure. Conversations are straightforward and goal‑oriented, not full of jargon.

Janice draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment‑informed work to address patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses these approaches to help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new ways of relating, and commit to values that matter to them.

People who see her can expect a mix of talking and practical exercises. That can include working on communication, tackling avoidance, and learning strategies for emotional regulation. Janice pays attention to how past relationships affect current choices and feelings.

She is also experienced supporting people with issues including addiction, intimacy concerns, body image and eating matters, and career stress. If someone is unsure whether this is the right match, Janice suggests an initial conversation to clarify goals and agree on the most useful way forward.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people spot what matters most to them and take small steps towards those values even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practising different ways of responding to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Attachment‑based ideas look at how earlier relationships influence present patterns and help people try new ways of connecting.

Choosing the right approach is usually a practical process rather than a single upfront decision. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods to try, what goals feel realistic, and how to measure progress. That makes it easier to adjust the plan if something does not fit.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study or early career hours, allow shorter check‑ins when days are busy, and remove travel time. It also lets people try different ways of meeting and then agree what best fits their pace and needs.
