About Janette

Janette Potts works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and life changes using an integrative, client-guided approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Janette frames sessions around what the person brings. She listens and helps people gain clearer insight into their problems and day-to-day life. Sessions aim to identify where difficulties started and to develop practical steps to reduce burden and improve coping.

Her work includes support for addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem difficulties. She also offers help with career issues, bipolar, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. Additional focus areas include ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems.

Janette uses a mix of therapeutic approaches that draw on attachment ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally focused work and mindfulness practices. This lets her adapt to what each person needs while keeping sessions guided by the client.

She has recently completed a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision and continues to develop her skills. Janette works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People are invited to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session to begin.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. It can help when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeating difficult relationship habits.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person brings. It helps people feel heard and to make sense of their own priorities and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to build practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janette will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what fits best, based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion can happen in the first few sessions and be adjusted over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to offer more flexible scheduling and to reach people who cannot attend in person.
