About Janet

NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). Five years' experience. Janet Bellis works with a broad range of emotional and psychological issues using an integrative counselling style.

Janet helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and bereavement. She also supports those facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and major life changes. Additional areas listed include parenting, career concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD related issues.

Her approach is described as pluralistic and person-centred. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour work. Sessions focus on identifying what is holding someone back and building practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Janet has worked for one of the UK’s large mental health charities and with people from many national and cultural backgrounds. That experience informs her sensitivity to different personal and cultural contexts when discussing difficulties and goals.

She offers flexible appointment times including evenings UK time and accepts international clients. Practical options for contacting her and starting are provided via the platform’s booking flow, which begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Janet holds First-Class Honours in Counselling and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, shown above as NCPS.

How Janet’s approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters to them and takes small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based ideas help when past relationship experiences shape present responses, offering ways to notice and change unhelpful interaction styles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography lists video, phone and chat as session formats, but please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and they allow evening appointments in UK time that may suit different time zones. Many people appreciate that remote sessions reduce travel time and mean shorter check-ins when needed, while still using the same therapeutic techniques as face-to-face work.
