About Janette

Janette Potts is a counsellor with four years of practice and a BACP accreditation. She listens closely and keeps the session focused on the person in front of her. Her approach is guided by what each client brings, with the aim of helping people understand their problems and find ways to feel lighter.

She uses an integrative style that draws on several well-known approaches to match individual needs. Sessions look at where difficulties began and how they show up now. This includes life events, health problems, relationship tensions, and changes at work or home.

Janette works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating into sleep, parenting pressures, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, caregiving demands, autism-related issues, and midlife or career crossroads. Her practice mentions work with bipolar and ADHD related concerns as well.

Her method is collaborative and practical. Conversations often include noticing thoughts and feelings, trying different ways of responding, and using simple mindfulness exercises. Together a client and Janette create a plan that aims to reduce immediate distress and build longer term coping skills.

Sessions take place in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats available and the subscription-based fee structure.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people notice how they form bonds and respond in close relationships, which can be useful for intimacy, grief or relationship difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and reflects what is said, helping people find their own ways to cope and make decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Many people find that focusing on thoughts, feelings and small practical exercises translates well to remote sessions, and techniques such as mindfulness or reflective listening can be practised between meetings.
