About Janet
Janet Brown is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of private practice experience. She offers short-term and ongoing work for people facing relationship strain, anger, anxiety, depression and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear choices rather than giving direct advice.
Janet uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside a client-centred stance. She treats the person as the expert on their life and listens for what matters most. Conversations aim to notice patterns, test new ways of responding, and build small changes that fit day-to-day life.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, eating and body image issues, and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with career stress, codependency and the effects of separation. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, abandonment concerns and difficulties linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.
In sessions she combines problem-focused tools with mindfulness and narrative techniques. That can mean trying behavioural experiments, noticing thoughts that escalate anger, or reworking the story someone tells about themselves. The approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping clients make manageable changes.
Janet works with people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients, and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
How Janet blends approaches for online work
Janet draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test different behaviours. CBT techniques help with anger, anxiety, sleep problems and low mood by breaking situations into thoughts, feelings and actions to try small, practical changes. She also uses client-centred practice which means sessions are led by what the client brings. That approach focuses on listening and helping people make their own decisions rather than giving direct advice. Together these approaches suit issues like relationship conflict, shame around body image, or coping after loss. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will discuss goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to try. She treats the plan as flexible, checking in and adjusting based on what helps most. Confirm the exact session formats before booking because none are listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that fits better. It can also let someone avoid being on camera if they prefer a phone conversation or reduce bandwidth needs by using audio only. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical constraints while focusing on the therapeutic tasks at hand.Areas of focus
