About Janet
Janet Brown is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice listed here. She works with people on concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, grief and a wide range of life changes. Janet describes a person-centred approach combined with cognitive behavioural techniques in her work.
Janet treats clients as the experts on their own lives and uses conversations to identify goals. She avoids giving direct advice and focuses on helping people make and reflect on their own choices. Her background includes a diploma in therapeutic counselling and training in mindfulness and domestic violence.
In sessions she uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She also draws on person-centred principles to listen without judgement and encourage the client’s own perspective. Narrative ideas may be used to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.
Janet notes experience with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including attachment and abandonment issues, eating and body image problems, addiction, trauma and separation. She also lists work related to parenting challenges, blended family dynamics and cancer related distress.
Her practical focus includes coping strategies for sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem, plus mindfulness techniques to reduce stress. People can expect a conversational style that mixes skills practice with reflective listening and goal-setting.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Janet uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; this can work well for anxiety, sleeping problems and stress because it focuses on practical steps and exercises. She also uses a person-centred approach which means attention to the client’s perspective and listening without judgement, helping people clarify what matters to them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janet will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That means sessions can shift between skills practice, reflective conversation and mindfulness exercises as you and the counsellor see fit.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-in meetings or making it simpler to schedule sessions during a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and home practices to suit remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
