About Janette

Janette Potts is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and life changes. Janette also supports those dealing with addiction, family concerns, grief, intimacy issues and sleep problems.

She uses a client-guided, integrative approach in sessions. That means sessions are shaped around what a person brings each week. Janette listens, helps people understand where problems began, and works with them to create practical steps to reduce the burden.

Her background includes recent completion of a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision, and she has experience supporting people who have health problems alongside emotional difficulties. She draws on methods such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness when these fit the concern.

Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life changes. People can expect to talk through current struggles, identify patterns, and try out new coping ideas between meetings. Janette pays attention to how relationships and past hurts shape present reactions.

She also addresses issues that often affect blended households, such as parenting tensions, communication problems and divided loyalties. Janette will work with individuals to clarify priorities and practical next steps for daily family life.

Approaches used in online sessions

Janette commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early and close relationships shape current patterns, which can help with trust, intimacy and parenting tensions. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can ease anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janette collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking since specific formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote work helps sustain regular contact and apply new skills between meetings, but Janette will discuss practical arrangements and what will work best for everyday life during your first meeting.
