About Janette
Janette Potts is a counsellor who listens closely and follows the pace set by each person. She aims to help people understand the roots of their difficulties and to find practical ways to ease their burden. Janette presents herself as present and attentive in sessions, encouraging people to start when they feel ready.
She uses an integrative style that draws on different approaches to match individual needs. Sessions are driven by the client, and the work focuses on identifying where problems began and building a plan to manage them.
Background and approach
That plan may include practical strategies and reflective conversation. Janette has four years of experience and has worked with people across the age range. She notes particular interest in supporting those who are coping with health problems.
Her additional focus areas include issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, parenting stress, chronic illness, and ageing-related challenges. Janette holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has recently completed a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision and continues to pursue professional learning.
People who come to her can expect a calm, collaborative space where the counsellor follows the client’s lead while offering tools from attachment work, cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and help people feel more able to manage daily life.

How Janette works online
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Janette works collaboratively to decide which methods best fit a person's goals, needs and preferences. That choice may change over time as different issues come into focus.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - fewer travel needs, simpler scheduling and the chance to have a shorter check-in when time is tight. It can also allow sessions when physical health or mobility are a concern. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and reflective work to remote settings so the therapeutic process remains practical and focused on everyday change.
