About Janice

Janice Dias Dabawala is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addictive behaviours. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting pressures, anger, career shifts and compassion fatigue. Janice works in a respectful and sensitive way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried about change.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps and understanding the patterns that keep problems going. Janice draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Janice holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her background includes eight years of professional experience working with adults across a range of concerns. She uses that experience to offer steady, calm guidance during difficult moments. In sessions she blends structured techniques with reflective discussion.

That means there will be chances to learn new ways of coping and time to talk about underlying feelings. The work aims to reduce unhelpful reactions and build skills that carry into everyday life. People find it useful when sessions are practical and straightforward.

Janice encourages small, achievable steps and checks progress as therapy continues. She supports clients as they try new ways of thinking and behaving and adjusts the plan as needs evolve.

How Janice uses therapy approaches online

Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and many day-to-day problems.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people notice patterns without immediately reacting. Mindfulness can be helpful for stress, rumination and staying grounded in difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. Clients and the therapist decide which techniques to keep or change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy lets people work in ways that fit their life. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and work well for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when video would add technical difficulty or bandwidth strain. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, short reflections and fitting support around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use therapy in everyday life.
