About Janis
Janis Dreosti is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting concerns and codependency. Janis aims to make the therapy space calm and welcoming so clients can focus on what matters to them.
Her style is interactive and relaxed. Sessions are paced to suit the person in front of her and she uses clear explanations to help people understand their feelings. Janis blends different therapeutic tools rather than following a single rigid method.
She often works with young people and students and is familiar with pressures they face. Janis uses psycho-education to explain why anxiety, overwhelm or low mood happen, and then introduces practical ways to manage those experiences.
When trauma is present she focuses on the effects it has now rather than asking for detailed descriptions of past events. Clients set the pace and Janis offers techniques to reduce symptoms and regain control over thoughts and emotions.
Her background includes more than five years supporting people through domestic violence, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress and depression at a local charity. This experience informs how she approaches safety, pacing and practical skills in sessions.
Initial sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and what the client wants from counselling. From there she and the client work together to set goals and build useful, manageable strategies for change.
Approaches that translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours are linked and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach often takes a few sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to see whether approaches such as Client-Centred work best, or whether more structured CBT tools are helpful for your goals. Together you will try methods and adapt them to what feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or study. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions useful for shorter check-ins, paced trauma work and learning practical skills between meetings, while still keeping the focus on everyday changes that matter to them.
