About Janos

Janos Bene begins his professional path as a counsellor with three years of practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). He presents a calm, attentive style and focuses on short, clear conversations that aim to make change feel possible. Parents reading on a phone will find straightforward language and a reassuring tone.

He helps people facing stress and anxiety by listening carefully and asking practical questions.

Background and approach

Relationship difficulties and family conflict are areas he often addresses, along with grief and coping with loss. Concerns about self-esteem, motivation and finding life purpose also come up in sessions. Sessions can look at past experiences to find underlying causes or stay focused on current problems and immediate steps.

The work is collaborative - he treats the client as the expert on their own life while offering guidance on next steps. Expect a gentle, steady approach rather than sudden changes. Janos pays attention to communication patterns, issues around control, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt or shame.

He uses these topics to frame practical conversations about behaviour and choices. The emphasis is on small, achievable shifts that build confidence over time. Taking the first step is acknowledged as hard, and support is offered without pressure.

Sessions aim to clear a path toward a more manageable daily life and a greater sense of direction.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and treating the person as the expert in their own life. The counsellor reflects what you say, asks clear questions, and supports you to find your own solutions. This approach is helpful for anxiety, stress, relationships and issues around self-worth because it emphasises the client’s perspective and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in early sessions and will collaboratively choose ways of working that suit the person. That might mean staying with client-centred conversations or adding specific tasks to try between sessions.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, which help with building rapport. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier when visual contact is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflections, or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the same collaborative approach.
