About Janet
Janet Bellis is a counsellor who uses a pluralistic, person-centred style to help people tackle practical problems. She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Janet offers a warm and down-to-earth approach so people can speak freely about what matters to them.
She draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
That means she can offer tools from cognitive behavioural work, acceptance-based strategies, attachment-focused thinking and skills from dialectical approaches. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way and building simple, usable steps forward. Janet has five years' experience working in mental health, including supporting people through a major UK charity.
She has worked with many different concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addictions and low self-esteem. Parenting is one of the areas she lists among her focus areas and she helps parents cope with parenting stress and related concerns. She also supports people dealing with life changes, relationship issues, sleep and eating problems, trauma and feelings of abandonment.
Janet aims to help clients develop emotional resilience and practical strategies they can use between sessions. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, and offers evening appointment times that may suit different time zones.

How counselling approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and important relationships shape patterns today, and helps people understand and change how they relate to others and themselves.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through different options and adapt methods to match the client's goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. That means techniques may be combined or adjusted as progress is reviewed together.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people access therapy with registered or accredited professionals across the UK and internationally while keeping scheduling flexible.
