About Janet
Janet Bellis is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and phobias. Her practice includes support for practical problems like sleeping, eating, addiction and coping with life changes.
Janet uses a pluralistic, integrative approach that borrows from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and attachment-based ideas. She takes a person-centred stance, so sessions begin by finding which methods feel most useful for the individual. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours one week and attachment patterns the next.
Her background includes a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and registration with NCPS. She has worked for a major UK mental health charity and with clients from many cultural and national backgrounds. That experience contributes to practical ways of managing panic, social fears, confidence and grief.
In session she helps people notice what gets in the way, practise new skills, and set small achievable goals. Examples include anxiety management techniques, behavioural experiments for confidence, and exercises to improve communication. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions.
Janet provides sessions that can fit around evening schedules and international time zones. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Janet uses evidence-based approaches online
Janet draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and make small value-driven changes. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter, which can suit anxiety, avoidance and life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns and try behaviour experiments. CBT is practical and structured, often supporting work on panic, phobias, sleep and confidence by testing new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to use based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans change if something is not helping.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. The biography notes availability across time zones and evening appointments, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm which session types are offered when you book so they fit into your routine. Online work can make it easier to attend around work, fit shorter check-ins into a busy day, or use video for exercises that need visual feedback.
