About Janet
Janet Brown is a counsellor who begins by listening and helping people make steady changes. She greets each person with warmth and respect and focuses on practical steps rather than labels. Janet encourages clients to make their own choices and supports them as they try different ways of coping.
She uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside a client-centred way of working. That means conversations look at how thoughts, feelings and actions link, while keeping the client’s experience central. Sessions are calm and non-judgemental, with techniques offered rather than direct advice.
Janet holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her professional practice. She has five years of experience as a practising counsellor and has also worked in therapy services for many years before that. Her background includes training in therapeutic counselling and mindfulness, and experience with domestic violence settings.
People come to her for relationship strain, codependency, anxiety, depression, grief and parenting pressures. She also supports those dealing with trauma, body image concerns, addiction issues and life transitions. Janet mentions attachment and abandonment themes among her focus areas.
Sessions aim to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes between meetings. The approach mixes practical tools with space to tell personal stories. Janet works in English and is based in the United Kingdom, and she accepts international clients.
How Janet’s approaches shape online therapy
Janet draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and trust, which can help with relationship difficulties and codependency. Cognitive behavioural methods help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Clients are invited to try tools and reflect on what helps, so the plan can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family life and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed or to use audio rather than video if that suits someone better. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so arrangements match daily routines and needs.
