Janice uses a mix of talk work and hands-on techniques. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas to find what fits each person.
How Janice works
Sessions are shaped around the issues a client brings and the goals they want to reach. Her style is calm and respectful. She focuses on listening first and then creating a simple, realistic plan to address immediate problems.
This can include short-term solution-focused steps or deeper work when people want to understand patterns from their past. Janice is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has eight years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom.
Her qualifications support a range of approaches so she can adapt to different needs. She offers a collaborative process where clients and the counsellor agree on goals and review progress. Janice encourages practical exercises between sessions, such as mindfulness practices or behavioural tasks, to help change day-to-day routines.
People looking for flexible, online-centred support often find her way of working straightforward. She aims to make the first steps easier and to keep the pace comfortable as people work toward clearer goals.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce stress and improve focus, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janice will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then choose or blend methods that match their needs. This is a collaborative decision and may evolve as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, regular support between sessions or people who prefer typing. Together these formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, family and daily life.
