About Greg
Greg Janiszek is a counsellor who helps people facing midlife concerns and related stresses. He works with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, self-esteem difficulties, grief and challenges around identity and intimacy. Greg has three years of practice and holds BACP accreditation, and he aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people under pressure.
Greg’s style is warm and respectful. He creates a calm space where people can be heard without judgment. Sessions focus on making sense of what’s happening now, and on simple steps that can ease day-to-day coping.
He trained in integrative counselling and holds a Master’s in Education with Psychology plus a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. That background means he draws on several ways of working rather than a single method, and adapts his approach to what each person needs.
In practice this can mean short-term tools to manage distress or longer conversations to look at recurring patterns. He uses person-centred listening to build trust, cognitive and behavioural techniques for practical change, and attachment-informed ideas to understand relationships. The overall aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood and more choice in how to respond.
People often come for help with work pressures, parenting strain, identity questions, sleep problems, addiction-related worries and coping with life changes. Greg supports exploration of trauma, abandonment issues, body image and intimacy concerns, and works to help clients rebuild resilience and find clearer direction.

How Greg’s approaches translate to online work
Greg uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred ways of working. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small committed steps that match what matters to you; it can help with stuckness and life changes. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns show up now, which can clarify why certain relationships trigger strong reactions. Client-centred work gives you space to be heard and understood, helping trust and self-reflection to grow.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Greg will talk with you about what you want to change and try different ways of working until something fits. He aims to match methods to your goals, whether that means learning coping skills, reviewing relationship patterns or simply having a steady space to think things through.

Online work can allow shorter check-ins, clearer planning between sessions and easier attendance around work or family commitments, while still using the same therapeutic tools discussed above.
