Janos Bene is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and BACP accreditation. He introduces himself in a calm, straightforward way and aims to make first steps feel manageable. His style is conversational and attentive, focused on helping people feel heard and understood.

Janos supports people facing stress and anxiety, as well as those dealing with relationship and family difficulties. He also helps people working through grief, low self-esteem and questions about life direction.

Background and approach

He pays attention to communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt or shame. In sessions he offers space to look at the past if that feels useful, or to focus on current problems and practical change. He believes each person knows their own story and brings that knowledge into the work.

The aim is to help people notice strengths they already have and use them to move forward. His approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which means the conversation is guided by the client's concerns and goals. Janos listens carefully and asks questions that help clarify what matters most to the client.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs. People who prefer a calm, empathic listener and a straightforward way of working may find his approach helpful. He encourages realistic steps and supports clients as they try out new ways of coping and communicating.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an attentive, non-judgemental space where the client's concerns lead the conversation. It helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship or family difficulties, and issues like grief or low self-esteem by prioritising the client's perspective and goals.

In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client's pace. Together they decide whether to look at past experiences or concentrate on present challenges. That collaborative way of working helps shape sessions to what the person needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a better choice when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who find typing easier.

Choosing the right format is part of the work and can change over time. The therapist will help pick what fits the client's goals, schedule and comfort. Online therapy offers flexibility to fit around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on the client's priorities.
