About Janet
Janet Brown is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years' experience in private practice. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, stress and anxiety, parenting and related issues such as attachment and abandonment. Janet also supports people coping with eating and body image problems, sleep difficulties, anger and self-esteem, and life changes including separation and bereavement.
She uses a person-centred way of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions are based on the information a client brings and on collaborative discussion. Janet avoids giving direct advice; instead she offers techniques and reflections that help people make their own decisions and change unhelpful patterns.
Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships affect current responses. Narrative elements are used to help people reframe difficult experiences and see different options. Mindfulness practices are offered for stress, sleep and anxiety management.
Janet aims to treat people without labels and with respect. Her background includes training in therapeutic counselling, mindfulness and domestic violence, and she has previously worked in a therapy service setting. This experience informs practical ways of working with complex family and relationship-related concerns.
If you are an individual coping with pressure at home, a difficult relationship, or the ongoing effects of past trauma, Janet offers short, direct sessions that focus on change and on clearer decision-making. Prospective clients can confirm session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Janet applies therapeutic approaches to online sessions
Janet blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-focused thinking. Person-centred work means the client guides the conversation while the counsellor reflects and listens to help the client find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduce small practical exercises to test different ways of coping. Attachment-informed thinking helps identify how early relationship patterns influence current responses and relationship choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet treats this as a collaborative process and will help identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Over the first few sessions she and the client review what helps and adapt the plan to fit practical needs and desired outcomes.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make mindfulness exercises, sleep strategies and cognitive tools easier to practise between sessions and bring straight into conversation.
