Janice Dias Dabawala , BACP

Janice Dias Dabawala is a UK-based therapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings eight years of professional experience to her practice. She focuses on supporting people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with an emphasis on meeting each person where they are.

Janice adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect a client’s unique circumstances and goals, shaping interventions to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. She acknowledges that seeking change takes courage and positions herself as a steady source of support through that process, helping clients explore options, build skills, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Janice commonly works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy, and may also use Solution-Focused techniques to help clients reach practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning skills to change them - it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can help reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward the changes a person wants to make, which can be useful when motivation or direction is the main concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janice collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so it remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support from another location. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
