About Janet

Janet Bellis is a counsellor registered with NCPS with five years' experience in the UK. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and addiction. She also supports clients facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, parenting strains and career or life changes.

Janet uses a pluralistic, integrative approach that draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. She adapts the mix to what someone needs in the moment, and focuses on practical steps alongside understanding feelings. Sessions aim to help people identify what is holding them back and practise different responses.

Her background includes a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and accreditation with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, plus membership of the National Hypnotherapy Society. She also has experience working for a major UK mental health charity, supporting a wide range of presenting issues and diverse client backgrounds.

Janet offers work in English and meets people from different nationalities, so she can support international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Her practice emphasises clear, collaborative work. Conversations cover feelings, patterns of behaviour and practical coping skills. The aim is to build emotional understanding and useful ways to manage everyday challenges.

How Janet uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online

Janet combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based principles in straightforward, practical ways. EFT focuses on naming and working with emotions that are hard to express and on changing unhelpful interaction patterns. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and how those patterns can be shifted.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and she will adjust methods as work progresses. That means the approach can change over time if a different focus suits the person's needs better.

The biography lists video, phone and chat as session options, but readers should confirm the current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for different time zones, as Janet offers evening appointments UK time which can suit international clients.
