Janet Brown, BACP

Janet Brown is a warm and non-judgemental therapist who supports people through relationship, family and trauma-related difficulties as well as issues such as grief, anxiety, depression and life changes. She works from a person-centered perspective that recognises clients as the experts on their own lives, and she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people explore patterns of thinking and behaviour that can be changed to improve everyday functioning and wellbeing.

Janet emphasises compassionate, respectful collaboration rather than giving direct advice, helping clients make their own informed choices and reduce repetition of unhelpful patterns. She holds a diploma in therapeutic counselling with additional training in mindfulness and domestic violence response, and she is registered with the BACP - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Janet has five years of experience working with people in therapy services and offers an approachable, supportive environment for those facing issues such as attachment difficulties, eating and body image concerns, parenting and blended family challenges, addiction and coping with major life transitions.

Her practice is inclusive of LGBT clients and international clients, and she tailors therapeutic methods to each person’s needs, aiming for practical outcomes and greater self-understanding over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Janet blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to offer practical, compassionate online support. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space in which the client’s own insights and choices guide the work - this approach helps people who need understanding, validation and improved self-direction. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, and is useful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress.

Janet also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and emotional responses, which can be helpful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues or relationship difficulties. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Janet works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences and can adapt the plan over time.

Online therapy with Janet is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations and formats while working with a registered professional toward clearer goals and practical coping strategies.
