About Janette
Janette Potts is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She listens closely and supports people as they make sense of difficult moments. Sessions are guided by the client so conversations follow what matters most to the individual.
Janette uses an integrative approach and draws on several therapy methods to suit different needs. She helps people explore the roots of their problems and then plans practical steps to ease that burden.
How Janette works
Sessions focus on what feels manageable and helpful for day-to-day life. Her background includes a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision, which reflects recent study in clinical oversight. She is also registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
Janette supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, sleeping problems, parenting pressures and ADHD. She also works with issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, relationship breakdown, and midlife change. In sessions she blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness.
Emotion-focused and attachment-informed ideas are used when exploring relationships and emotional patterns. The aim is to build clearer understanding and small steps that make life easier. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session according to therapist availability.

How Janette's approaches work online
Janette draws on client-centred work that puts the person's priorities first. This approach involves active listening and gentle reflection to help people name what matters and decide the next steps. It is useful for many everyday struggles such as stress, low mood and relationship concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers straightforward exercises and small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood. Attachment-informed and emotion-focused ideas are used when looking at patterns in relationships and how emotions shape behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janette will discuss different methods and agree on what feels most helpful based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while keeping continuity of care.
