About Janette
Janette Potts is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and a wide range of life changes. Sessions focus on the person's priorities and what they want to achieve.
Janette uses an integrative approach that draws on several methods, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centred techniques, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. She aims to help people understand where problems began and to develop practical steps to reduce their daily burden. Conversations are led by the client and shaped around clear goals.
She has experience supporting people with health-related issues and long-term conditions, and with concerns such as grief, addiction, parenting strain, sleep problems and burnout. Janette also works with people navigating midlife change, career decisions and relationship pain. Her practice includes attention to issues linked to ageing, autism spectrum differences, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Janette completed a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision and uses that knowledge to guide reflective practice. She offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Janette uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people name and work with hard-to-identify feelings in relationships and personal patterns. EFT focuses on emotions and attachment needs, which can help when recurring relationship or intimacy issues are present.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current attachment experiences affect present relationships and reactions. Client-Centred Therapy is part of her work too, which means sessions are guided by what the person brings and by listening closely to their priorities.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janette will discuss options with each person and agree a way forward based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may draw on more than one method as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments or caregiving, and can reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a week, or avoid using a camera if someone prefers audio-only contact. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer different formats, so check which are provided and pick the one that fits day-to-day life.
