Janet Brown is a counsellor who guides people through worry, stress and major life changes. She greets each person with a warm, non-judgemental approach and treats people with respect. Janet uses a mix of practical strategies and person-centred listening to help people make choices that feel right for them.

She draws on five years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration, which shows she follows professional standards. Janet focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, stress, anxiety and LGBT issues.

Background and approach

She also supports people with eating concerns, parenting pressures, anger and self-esteem difficulties. Janet uses approaches that include Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Narrative methods. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, reframe unhelpful thoughts and practise simple skills to manage symptoms between meetings.

The tone is collaborative rather than directive. People who come to Janet often want practical steps alongside space to talk. She helps with coping after separation, managing control or commitment worries, and issues linked to addiction or domestic violence.

Other areas she addresses include body image, cancer-related distress, and challenges linked to autism and attachment. Janet offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Her background is aimed at helping people find clearer choices and steadier day-to-day routines.

If someone prefers a calm, respectful listener who also suggests concrete tools, she may be a good fit.

How Janet’s approaches work online

Janet uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment feelings or repeating relationship cycles. Client-Centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and offers an accepting space to talk without being told what to do. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to change how someone feels.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will explore your needs, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as sessions progress to fit what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different days and rhythms. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a simple check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
