About Janis

Janis Dreosti is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports clients dealing with relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue.

Janis has particular experience with ADHD and a range of behavioural and attachment concerns such as abandonment and codependency. Her style is relaxed and interactive.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to feel comfortable so clients can focus on what they want from therapy. Janis listens with curiosity and works at the client’s pace to build understanding of current difficulties. She uses a mix of practical tools and talking therapies tailored to each person.

This can include techniques to manage overwhelming feelings, ways to break cycles of unhelpful behaviour, and steps to rebuild confidence. She explains why symptoms happen as part of the work. When trauma has occurred, Janis focuses on its effects rather than asking for detailed accounts of the event.

The emphasis is on managing what remains now and developing coping strategies together. Clients are treated as the expert on their own experience. Janis has five years of counselling experience and has worked for a local charity supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress and depression.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Ways of working Janis names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Janis uses talking therapies online

Janis draws on client-centred work to place the person at the heart of sessions. That means listening carefully, reflecting what matters to the client and helping them set goals at their own pace. Client-centred work is useful for building confidence and for people who feel overwhelmed by symptoms.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT-style tools can be practical for anxiety, low mood, sleep and managing impulses by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Janis will discuss options with each client and agree on methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adapts the mix of approaches over time according to progress and what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact is helpful. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to talking or need brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caregiving commitments.
