About Janine
Janine Ellis offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She works with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress and relationship or family difficulties. Janine writes in a down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions easy to follow for someone reading on a phone.
She is based in the United Kingdom and uses approaches that focus on relationships and emotional awareness. Janine trained in integrative counselling and holds a Masters with distinction in Integrative Counselling.
Background and approach
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and follows their ethical code. Her background includes many years working in the music industry, so she is comfortable supporting people from creative and performance-focused careers. Her work is person-centred and relational.
That means sessions begin with the person and what matters to them, and the relationship in the room is used to explore feelings and patterns. She may draw on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships affect present ones, and she uses mindfulness to help with overwhelming emotions. In practical terms Janine aims to make therapy collaborative.
She listens for what is useful, offers gentle challenges, and helps people try new ways of handling difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions move at a pace that suits the individual and focus on small, manageable changes. People contact Janine for issues such as grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes and identity questions.
Her style is steady and respectful, with an emphasis on understanding how life events and relationships shape emotional responses.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared task. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that feel helpful. This collaborative process means the work can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy with Janine uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations when you want face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a lighter check-in. Live chat and text work well for shorter updates, written reflection or when being off camera helps concentration. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
