About Janet
Janet Bellis uses a pluralistic, person-centred approach to counselling. She combines practical techniques with a warm, steady presence to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Janet works in clear, plain language and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable for busy parents and carers.
She brings five years of experience supporting people through grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. Janet also helps with addictions, sleeping problems, eating concerns and anger, and offers coaching for career changes and coping with life transitions.
How Janet works
Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image and caregiving stress. Janet draws on a mix of therapies to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working.
This lets her adapt to what a person needs rather than using a single fixed method. Janet holds NCPS as a credential, which she uses to inform her practice. She has experience with national mental health charities in the UK and has worked with clients from many backgrounds and nationalities.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Janet explains the steps clearly and helps people set simple goals, learn coping skills and build confidence over time.

Online support options
How Janet's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters most to them, so they can act in line with their values even when things feel difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and helps people understand how early connections affect current responses and coping styles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted over time to suit progress and practical realities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit around work, childcare and travel commitments.
