About Janette
Janette Potts is a counsellor who listens with attention and helps people make practical changes in their lives. She places the client at the centre of sessions and aims to help people understand where problems began and how they affect daily life. Janette uses an integrative approach so sessions are guided by the person who comes to talk.
She holds a BACP credential, which is listed as her professional registration.
Background and approach
Janette commonly works with stress, anxiety and depression and also helps people facing relationship strain or life transitions. She has experience addressing trauma, grief, addiction concerns and problems with sleep. Her work also covers self-esteem, anger, parenting challenges and career-related stress.
Her practice includes attention to longer-term conditions such as bipolar and neurodiversity needs like ADHD and autism. She supports people dealing with chronic illness or caregiver stress and those handling separation, infidelity or blended family dynamics. Janette also helps with issues around ageing and geriatric needs.
In sessions she blends approaches such as attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness. Conversations aim to spot patterns, build coping strategies and create straightforward plans to reduce daily strain. To begin someone uses the site process to match and schedule sessions.
Janette offers a respectful, steady presence and works with people across a wide range of life challenges and emotional concerns.

Online support
Client-centred work means the counsellor listens without judging and follows the person's pace. This approach supports people who need a calm space to talk through their worries and to decide what changes feel right for them.
Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teach practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. These strategies are often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems and can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then suggest ways to combine methods. Decisions are made collaboratively and adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues while phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer no camera. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, moment-to-moment support or a way to continue work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and other commitments.
