About Janis
Janis Sims works from a person-centred approach to help people face stress, anxiety, trauma and parenting concerns. She brings a calm, practical style and a focus on the client’s strengths. Janis holds BACP accreditation and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She helps people talk through low mood, motivation and self-esteem. Sessions often look at relationships, grief and intimacy-related problems. Janis also supports those navigating eating or sleeping difficulties, addiction issues and career-related stress.
Background and approach
Her additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care matters, attachment and communication problems, and challenges linked to chronic illness or disability. She works with people affected by post-traumatic stress, dissociation and postpartum depression. Janis also offers help around neurodiversity issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Janis uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools to tailor sessions to each person. She prioritises clear goals and practical strategies while listening for what matters most to the individual. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish, and Janis accepts international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Janis works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match your needs, goals and preferences. That may mean mixing elements from different approaches and adjusting them as you make progress.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet with a therapist who speaks their language even if they are not nearby. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, skill coaching and emotionally-focused work to suit a remote setting so the focus stays on steady progress and practical benefits.
