About Janet

Janet Bellis is a pluralistic psychotherapist who works in a warm, empathic way. She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and is listed with NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Janet helps people talk through anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, bereavement and life changes.

She adapts her style to each person and works alongside clients to find what helps. Her practice draws on a mix of approaches including person-centred ideas, solution-focused techniques and hypnotherapy methods. This means sessions tend to focus on practical steps as well as understanding underlying patterns.

Janet has five years' experience and has worked with a national mental health charity in the UK. That work exposed her to many different situations, from trauma and abuse to phobias, panic and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with addictions, work stress, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

Her additional areas of focus include issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and neurodiversity, body image, and caregiver stress. Janet aims to help clients build emotional resilience and practical skills they can use day to day.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in the UK and internationally. She offers evening appointments in UK time to help fit therapy into busy lives, and describes the space she provides as non-judgemental and supportive.

Online approaches that fit your life

Janet draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of her online work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values, which can help when life changes feel overwhelming. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. Janet works with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and daily life, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. That means sessions are shaped by what the person needs rather than a fixed protocol.

Her biography notes sessions are available by video, phone or chat, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when useful. If evenings suit you better, she offers appointments in UK time that may align with other time zones.
