Janet Brown

Janet Brown is a counsellor with a background in therapeutic counselling and mindfulness. She greets people warmly and aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting. Janet describes her way of working as collaborative and non-judgemental, and she emphasises respect in sessions.

Janet uses approaches drawn from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy. She treats the person in the room as the expert in their life and focuses on what the client tells her. Together they look at the practical changes that feel right for that person, rather than imposing advice.

Her experience includes supporting people with relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety, stress and issues linked to anger. She also works with people facing sleeping problems, eating and body image concerns, and career or self-esteem worries. Additional areas she helps with include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, and the effects of trauma and domestic violence.

Janet holds a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and has training in mindfulness and domestic violence. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes several years working in therapy services, and she draws on that experience in sessions.

People can expect a calm, compassionate space to talk things through. Janet aims to help clients notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and make choices that better match their goals. She works in English and accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people look at how early relationships shape how they relate now. It can be useful for issues like abandonment, trust and repeating relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor follows their priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and anger.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Janet will talk with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. That process is collaborative, and approaches can be adapted as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone keep a routine around therapy and bring in real-life situations to talk through in session. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to practical needs and day-to-day schedules.
