About Janice
Janice Dias Dabawala is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and parenting challenges. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Conversations are tailored to what matters most to the client.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step clearer and more manageable. With eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Janice draws on a range of practical methods to meet real needs.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to notice and change unhelpful patterns. She also brings in mindfulness practices to help people calm busy minds and rebuild focus. Janice values working together to set clear, achievable goals.
That can mean short problem-focused work or a longer conversation about life patterns and past experiences. She adapts the pace to each individual and checks in often about progress. Sessions cover common life pressures such as work stress, grief, addictive behaviours, career decisions and navigating intimacy-related concerns.
Parents who are feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about their role can find practical ideas and emotional support in her sessions. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. Janice explains options plainly, helps people try new ways of coping, and reflects on what is most helpful next.
She aims to leave people with clearer choices and skills they can use after sessions end.

Approaches Janice lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Approaches you can try online
Janice commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness therapy in her online work. CBT helps people spot thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then practise different responses to change those patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus, which can help with anxiety and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janice will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then suggest a plan. That plan can mix short, solution-focused steps with deeper reflection when needed, and it will be reviewed regularly so it stays useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when it helps, phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible, and messaging is helpful for quick check-ins or shorter-paced work. These options make it simpler to keep sessions consistent and to try therapy in a way that matches daily routines.
