About Janet
Janet Bellis is a psychotherapist registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has five years' experience. She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and has worked for a major UK mental health charity. She supports people with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions and codependency.
Janet uses an integrative, pluralistic way of working. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment ideas, client-centred ways of working, CBT and DBT skills. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer patterns, and everyday strategies rather than jargon or long theory explanations.
In practice she helps people spot what keeps them stuck and try realistic changes. That can mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, practising clearer boundaries, or building routines for sleep and daily life. She also offers coaching-style support for career shifts and coping with big life changes.
Janet has experience with a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities and notes cultural and personal context as part of the work. She uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises, together with reflective listening and behavioural tasks when needed.
Sessions are offered by video, phone or chat and can fit different time zones. Prospective clients choose an online matching step, then book an initial session to agree goals and frequency.
How sessions work
How Janet uses online approaches and therapy methods
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting driven by them and focus on actions that matter. It is useful for rumination, worry and making value-based changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with fears of abandonment, clinging or shutting down in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a straightforward, respectful conversation where the client leads most of the agenda and the counsellor reflects and clarifies to aid self-understanding.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Janet treats approach choice as collaborative and will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, practical needs and preferences. Together they try things and adjust if something does not fit or help.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Video can let people read body language and do longer check-ins, while phone or chat can suit shorter sessions, lower bandwidth or times when being on camera is difficult. The biography notes sessions are offered by video, phone or chat, but it is sensible to confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match day-to-day needs.
