About Janis
Janis Dreosti helps people feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or overwhelmed. She supports those coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strains and career stress. She also works with concerns like ADHD, anger, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related problems.
Janis holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her practice. Her style is relaxed and interactive. Sessions aim to feel calm so clients can focus on what they want from therapy.
Background and approach
She asks about current day-to-day effects rather than pressing for detailed accounts of past events. That lets people work at their own pace and stay in control of the conversation. Janis uses short explanations and practical techniques to help people manage symptoms.
She draws on client-centred ideas to follow what matters to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, while mindfulness skills support grounding and emotion regulation. When trauma is part of the picture she concentrates on present-day impacts rather than retelling events.
She blends tools from different approaches to match the individual and their goals. Psycho-education is used to increase understanding of why certain reactions happen. Janis has five years of experience and has worked for a local charity supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress and depression.
The first session focuses on how issues are affecting daily life and what the client hopes to achieve. From there she and the client plan the next steps together.

How Janis works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans change as the client learns which tools help most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practise homework between sessions and bring techniques learned in therapy into everyday routines.
