Janet Brown , BACP

Janet Brown is a United Kingdom based therapist who combines practical techniques with a warm, non-judgemental approach to help people navigate stressful and painful life experiences. She works collaboratively, listening carefully so that each person remains the expert on their own life while she offers evidence-informed tools and compassionate guidance. Her practice emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods - helping clients explore thoughts and behaviors, and supporting personal choice and self-directed change.

Janet supports people with a wide range of concerns including relationships and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, stress and anxiety, LGBT issues, eating and body-image issues, parenting and blended family challenges, addiction, and coping with life changes such as separation or career transitions. Her background includes training in therapeutic counselling, mindfulness, and domestic violence, and she holds the BACP credential (a professional counselling association).

She accepts new clients, including international clients, and provides therapy in English. Janet aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can explore patterns, build coping skills, and make choices that feel right for their lives.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support

Janet uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test different ways of responding - a practical approach useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. She also practices client-centered therapy which focuses on building an accepting, empathic relationship that encourages clients to explore their feelings and make their own choices - a helpful approach for relationship issues, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support coping with trauma, anger, and ongoing stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet collaborates with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they tailor methods and pace so the work feels relevant and effective for that individual.

Online therapy with Janet is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel, and allow sessions to fit around work, family, and daily life.
