About Janet
Janet Bellis is a counsellor who blends somatic awareness with talking therapy to help people feel steadier in their bodies and minds. She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to tackle stress, anxiety, low mood and the strain of major life changes. Janet is NCPS credentialed, which appears as NCPS in her profile, and she draws on five years of clinical experience.
She works in a collaborative, flexible way and adapts sessions to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions may include talking, noticing bodily sensations, and simple exercises to reduce tension. This plain approach aims to help people manage panic, sleeping problems, grief and struggles with self-esteem. Janet also offers tools for relationship difficulties, addiction-related concerns and career or parenting stress.
Her background includes work with a major UK mental health charity, where she supported people with a wide range of emotional challenges. She has experience with trauma, abuse, bereavement and building confidence after setbacks. People from different nationalities and cultures are welcomed and treated with sensitivity to their context.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit varying schedules and time zones. Sessions may be arranged in the UK or for international clients. Janet aims to help people gain practical coping skills and greater emotional resilience.
She focuses on small, achievable steps so clients can notice change and use new ways of responding to stress and life transitions.
How somatic and talking approaches work online
Janet combines somatic-informed work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas to help people online. Somatic work asks clients to notice bodily sensations and breathing to reduce tension and anchored stress, which can help with anxiety, panic and sleeping problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical action - it helps people accept difficult thoughts while committing to small, goal-driven steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early connections shape reactions and closeness in adult life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Janet will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and useful from the start.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or different time zones. People can choose a format that suits how they prefer to communicate, and Janet will adapt exercises and somatic practices for use in each online medium.
