About Janet
Janet Bellis is a counsellor who uses an existential approach alongside other therapies to help people facing life’s big questions. She holds NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and brings five years of practice to her work. Janet writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
She blends Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That mix lets her focus on meaning, values and practical steps.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns and trying small changes between meetings. Janet has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship worries, grief, low self-esteem and addictions.
Other areas she addresses include sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, trauma and anger concerns. She has worked for a major UK mental health charity and with people from many backgrounds. That experience informs a flexible style that adapts to cultural and personal differences.
Janet aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and plan realistic steps forward. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can work with her and she offers some evening slots UK time.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions to suit your schedule.

Online support
Therapy approaches and online options
Existential therapy looks at the big questions that affect people’s sense of purpose and meaning. It helps when life feels confusing, empty or overwhelming and supports people who want to explore values and personal choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that reflect your values; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and feeling supported.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. You and the therapist can try different methods and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing non-verbal cues matters. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work for shorter check-ins or when writing helps you say what you mean. These options make it easier to schedule sessions across locations and time zones and to keep therapy consistent alongside daily life.
