Janette Potts, BACP

Janette Potts is a therapist who listens carefully and stays present with each person she meets. She offers sessions that are guided by the client and aims to help people understand the roots of their difficulties. Janette uses an integrative approach so conversations can adapt to what each person needs in the moment.

She has four years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. Janette has worked with people of different ages and has a particular interest in supporting those facing health problems. Sessions focus on finding practical ways to reduce pressure and make daily life feel more manageable.

Her background includes recent study at Level 7, completing a diploma in counselling supervision. That study informs how she reflects on practice and plans sessions. Janette blends approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused techniques and mindfulness, selecting what fits each person.

In sessions she aims to put the person at the centre and create a shared plan to lighten the burden. Conversations often look at patterns in relationships, ways of coping, and small steps that build on strengths. Janette describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets the pace.

She works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. If you are considering starting, she encourages a short initial match process so you can see if the approach feels right for you.

How Janette's approaches work online

Janette draws on attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and reactions. This approach helps when people want to understand trust, closeness or repeated conflicts in relationships.

She also uses client-centred methods which centre on listening, empathy and following the person’s pace. That way sessions focus on what matters most to the individual. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes that can ease anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Janette will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods together. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
