About Janet
Janet Brown is a counsellor who welcomes people taking the first step towards better mental health. She introduces herself warmly and acknowledges how daunting it can feel to begin therapy. Janet encourages people to bring their own knowledge of themselves into sessions so they steer the work.
She emphasises choice and collaboration rather than giving direct advice. Janet works in a compassionate, non-judgemental way. She aims to treat each person with respect and avoid labels.
Background and approach
That approach helps people feel heard and more able to try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on talking through concerns and using practical techniques to support change. Her background includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and training in Mindfulness and Domestic Violence.
The biography supplied also states over 15 years of experience working in a therapy service; elsewhere she notes five years of formal practice on her profile. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Janet uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside a person-centred way of working.
That means identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes, while keeping the client’s priorities central. She also draws on attachment and narrative ideas when relevant. People come to Janet for many issues, including relationships, stress and anxiety, grief, sleep problems, eating concerns, parenting pressures, and recovery from trauma.
If someone wants to explore how past experiences affect current choices, she can help them make different decisions going forward.

How Janet works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will listen to the client’s priorities, explain different options, and agree what to try together. That shared planning helps tailor the work to each person’s needs and pace.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access a therapist who uses attachment, narrative and mindfulness ideas without needing to change where they live.
