About Janis
Janis Sims is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years’ experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also helps with motivation, self-esteem and confidence when those get in the way of everyday life.
Janis begins by listening to the person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. She uses clear, practical conversations to make sense of what feels overwhelming. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps and to build skills that can be used between meetings.
Her background includes work with a broad range of concerns such as relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, and mood disorders. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care matters, attachment or dissociation, and the effects of chronic illness or pain.
Janis draws on client-centred methods to keep the person’s experience central. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore relational patterns. These approaches are applied practically and at a pace set by the client.
Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Janis uses client-centred, DBT and EFT online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It keeps the client’s experience at the centre and helps clarify goals and priorities.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing overwhelming reactions. It can help when anxiety, mood swings or impulse challenges get in the way of daily life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how patterns between people shape feelings and behaviour. It can be useful when relationship or intimacy issues are a core concern.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods together. That collaborative process helps decide which tools to use and how quickly to introduce them.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy around work or family commitments, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals can make online sessions flexible to fit everyday life, while still providing focused, skills-based support.
