Janet Bellis, NCPS

Janet Bellis is a psychotherapist who brings a flexible, person-centred approach to therapy. She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Janet aims to create a warm and non-judgemental space for people to talk through what feels difficult.

She uses an integrative style that draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred work. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed method. Janet often combines practical techniques with reflective conversation to help people make changes.

Her experience includes roles at a major UK mental health charity where she supported people with a wide range of concerns. Areas she works with include stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also supports people with issues such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Janet has worked with people from many backgrounds and nationalities and pays attention to each person’s cultural and personal context. She offers evening appointments in UK time to accommodate different schedules. Sessions can be arranged for clients in the UK and internationally.

Practical therapy with her focuses on developing coping tools, building emotional resilience and changing unhelpful patterns. To begin, she invites people to take a small first step and arrange an initial match and scheduling conversation.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Janet uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work alongside attachment-informed ideas to guide online sessions. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps towards them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work and emphasises empathy and listening to build trust and insight. Attachment-informed ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for relationship and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and personal preferences. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

The biography indicates sessions are offered by video, phone or chat, so please confirm the exact formats available when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work and time zones, and evening appointments may help international clients in earlier time zones. It also allows shorter check-ins by phone or chat when a full video session is hard to schedule, and video sessions when face-to-face-style interaction is preferred.
