About Janet
Janet Brown is a counsellor with a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a BACP registration. She welcomes people who are feeling daunted by the idea of reaching out and keeps things straightforward and practical. Janet emphasises a warm, non-judgemental manner and treats each person with respect.
She works collaboratively, treating the client as the expert in their own life. Janet uses techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and person-centred work to help people talk through current problems and decide what outcomes suit them.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping clients make choices they can feel comfortable with going forward. Janet has five years of clinical experience and additional training in mindfulness and domestic violence. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including relationship stress, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and eating-related issues.
She also addresses specific areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and communication difficulties. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Janet avoids labels and offers a calm, compassionate space to work through difficult moments.
She encourages clients to learn skills they can use between sessions to manage stress, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. People often come to her for coaching-style support as well as therapy when they want clearer direction in career, parenting or personal goals. If you prefer straightforward language and a respectful, collaborative approach, her style may suit you.

Sessions & fees
How online work can use attachment, CBT and mindfulness
Janet draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current worries. This approach helps people understand why certain emotions or reactions keep appearing in relationships and in themselves.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Mindfulness practice is used alongside these methods to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs and preferences, and she will adjust the focus as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list which options are offered. Many people find that online work still allows focused conversation, skills practice and reflective exercises that fit into everyday life.
