About Janine

Janine Ellis is a counsellor who works with adults and young people aged 18 and over. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports people facing life changes, LGBT-related concerns, and specific struggles such as body image, abandonment and attachment problems.

Janine trained in integrative counselling and holds a Masters with distinction in Integrative Counselling.

Background and approach

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical code of conduct. In addition to her independent practice, she has experience working as a relationship counsellor for Relate Bradford & Leeds. Her way of working is relational and person-centred.

She aims to build trust and respect so people feel understood rather than judged. Janine adapts what she uses in sessions to each person, drawing on approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods and Mindfulness techniques.

Janine often combines talking with practical exercises and mindful awareness to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She treats the therapeutic relationship as part of the healing process and works collaboratively to set goals and try new steps. Her background in the music industry also informs her practice.

Janine offers understanding around the pressures faced by musicians and music industry workers, and tailors support to that context when relevant.

How Janine adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Janine uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process painful experiences and reduce the hold those memories have over daily life. This approach supports safe, paced work on difficult events so people can feel less overwhelmed by past harm.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, which helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small actions so clients can move towards a life that matters to them.

Attachment-Based work is another strand she draws on to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people understand trust, closeness and communication issues and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine treats this as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the pace and techniques over time as the relationship and aims become clearer.

Online sessions can be flexible and practical. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging works for people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, family and travel while keeping consistent contact with a registered professional.
