Janice Quinn, BACP

Janice uses two complementary approaches: a person-centred way and attachment-based ideas. Person-centred counselling means the client leads the pace and topics while the counsellor offers attentive listening and gentle reflection. This approach helps people who need space to make sense of emotions such as sadness, emptiness or low self-worth.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and coping. It can be useful for people who notice repeated difficulties in close relationships, struggles with trust, or repeating old responses to stress and loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janice will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person’s goals and preferences. Together they can try different ways of working and adjust as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or other commitments while keeping the focus on consistent, collaborative support.
