Janice Dias Dabawala , BACP

Janice Dias Dabawala helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief and parenting strain. She is also available to support those facing career pressure, anger, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Janice's name appears here so you know who will guide the work. She has eight years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means she is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Janice focuses on practical conversations and clear steps rather than jargon. She adapts the pace and content of sessions to what each person needs that week. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses Mindfulness Therapy to build calm and present-moment awareness. Elements of Psychodynamic thinking and Solution-Focused techniques may also appear if they fit the goals you bring. Her style is respectful and compassionate. She aims to make time for what matters most to you and to set small, achievable goals. Janice prefers an honest, down-to-earth approach where progress is measured in real-life changes. If you are thinking about starting therapy she asks for a short matching questionnaire to begin. This helps match needs and makes scheduling straightforward. The process begins by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing the initial form.

How Janice’s approaches translate to online counselling

Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as part of her work. CBT is about spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and trying different practical steps to shift them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase calm in everyday life. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as work progresses. Confirm the session formats before you book because the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, avoid camera use if preferred, or keep appointments during a work break. Many registered or accredited professionals offer these practical options to help therapy fit everyday life.
