Janette Potts
Supportive counsellor who listens and guides
About Janette
Janette Potts is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years' experience. She offers a listening presence and helps people gain clearer insight into what’s causing distress. Sessions are steered by the client, with Janette guiding each step.
Her style is collaborative and practical, aimed at easing the immediate burden. Janette uses an integrative approach drawing on several methods to meet different needs. She often blends understanding of attachment with client-centred listening and practical cognitive techniques.
Background and approach
That mix is used to look at relationship patterns, anxiety, low mood, and stress. People also work on sleep problems, anger, coping with life changes, and issues around intimacy. She has experience supporting people facing addictions, grief, parenting strains, and career uncertainty.
Additional focus areas include chronic illness, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress. Janette also offers help with guilt, shame, isolation, and midlife questions. Sessions can address more complex presentations such as bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, or compassion fatigue.
The aim is to build clearer understanding and practical steps to feel better. Janette explains ideas in plain language and works at a steady, manageable pace. Janette practises from the United Kingdom and carries a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision.
She will work with you to set goals and create a plan that fits your life and routines.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building healthier connections. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, moods and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Client-centred therapy centres the person in the room, emphasises empathic listening, and helps people find their own solutions at a comfortable pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janette will work collaboratively to see which combination of methods fits your needs, goals and preferences. Together you will try approaches, review what helps, and adjust the plan as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual connection, phone calls work well when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter catch-ups, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
