About Janette

Janette Potts is a counsellor who listens carefully and helps people make sense of their problems. She places the client at the centre of each session and works together with them to find practical ways to ease emotional burden. Janette has four years of practice and holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her work is guided by the person in front of her. Sessions focus on where a problem may have started and on small steps that can bring relief.

Background and approach

Janette often supports people dealing with long-term health issues alongside emotional concerns. She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. This includes methods that look at how past attachments shape current relationships, ways to adjust unhelpful thoughts and actions, and exercises to build greater self-awareness in everyday life.

Janette has recently completed a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision and continues to develop her skills. Her experience spans stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship problems, among other concerns listed in her profile. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative.

Janette helps people set clear goals and tries to break bigger issues into manageable steps. The focus is on making things feel less overwhelming and on improving day-to-day coping. She offers sessions in English and works with adults in the United Kingdom.

People who want to start are asked to follow the platform process to match and schedule an initial session.

How Janette's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to help people understand patterns in relationships and in emotional responses.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It aims to create a space where people can talk things through at their own pace and find their own solutions, which fits well with conversational video or messaging formats.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical and often includes homework tasks that can be discussed between video or phone sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janette will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when writing helps someone organise thoughts. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists can adapt these formats to fit different routines and lifestyles.
