About Janet
Janet Brown is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and issues around eating and sleeping. Janet holds a BACP credential and practises from the United Kingdom.
Janet bases sessions on collaboration. She uses conversation to learn what matters most to each person and then shapes practical steps from there. She encourages clients to make their own choices rather than giving direct advice.
Background and approach
Sessions are warm and non-judgemental and aim to reduce repeated unhelpful patterns. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural ideas alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to spot unhelpful thoughts, notice how feelings show up in the body, and build small changes that add up over time.
Trauma-focused techniques are also part of her work when past harm is a central concern. Janet has five years of experience as a therapist and a background that includes a diploma in therapeutic counselling, mindfulness, and domestic violence. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, abandonment, and blended family problems among others.
People come to Janet for help with life transitions, career worries, parenting strain, and coping after separation or loss. Her style suits those who want a supportive, practical way forward and who prefer to set their own goals in collaboration with their counsellor.

How Janet’s Approaches Work Online
Janet uses cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred methods online to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and make clear choices. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and finding practical ways to test new habits. Client-centred work prioritises the person's own perspective and uses listening and reflection to help them decide what matters most.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help clients notice feelings and bodily responses without judgement, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and trauma-related reactions. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process - the therapist and client try methods, review what helps, and adapt the plan together to fit goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be a shorter check-in or fit around a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
