Janet Bellis, NCPS

Janet Bellis is a psychotherapist who combines a person-centred style with practical strategies. She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Janet aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles and the awkward middle years that often bring big questions about purpose and change.

She works in a collaborative way, adapting sessions to each person's needs. That means listening first, then choosing from different approaches to suit the problem and the person. Many clients come for help with low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, parenting pressures, sleep and eating issues, or the emotional fallout of trauma and loss.

Janet draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-focused work to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, experimenting with new ways of coping, and building goals to improve day-to-day life.

She has five years' experience and has worked with people from varied backgrounds and nationalities. That background informs a flexible style that pays attention to personal and cultural context.

Janet offers appointments to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To start, readers are asked to use the platform's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to availability.

How Janet's approaches can translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like low mood, panic or insomnia. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape reactions now, which can help with relationship difficulties and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet aims to explore options together and pick methods that match the person's goals and preferences. She will adapt the plan over time if something isn’t working or if needs change, so the process stays collaborative and focused on practical steps.

The biography notes sessions are offered via video, phone or chat, so potential clients should check current options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones, and sometimes a short phone check-in is more practical than a longer session. Confirm the available formats and scheduling when you start so sessions can be organised to suit everyday routines.
