Janet Bellis
Compassionate, practical therapy for everyday struggles
About Janet
Janet Bellis is a psychotherapist who blends practical talking therapy with compassionate support. She holds NCPS and draws on five years of experience helping people tackle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Janet is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English to national and international clients.
Janet uses a pluralistic, person-focused way of working. She adapts her approach to each person rather than applying one fixed method.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to clarify problems, identify small changes, and build coping skills that fit everyday life. Her work covers a wide range of concerns. These include grief and bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger and career stress.
Janet also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue and life transitions. She draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour work. This mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns and practise new ways of responding.
Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging so clients can choose what suits them. Janet aims for straightforward, collaborative sessions that focus on practical steps and honest conversation. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose valued actions instead. It focuses on building psychological flexibility so day-to-day problems feel more manageable and meaningful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose which methods to try and review what works as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins, people who prefer typing, or when a session without video is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or different time zones while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
