Janette Potts, BACP

Janette Potts is a counsellor who listens closely and helps people make sense of their situation. She presents herself as steady and attentive, guiding conversations so clients can reflect and choose next steps. Janette holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of practice in the United Kingdom.

Her sessions are client-led and practical. Janette draws on an integrative style that mixes different approaches to match each person's needs. She often helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and midlife transitions, and she has experience with health-related concerns.

Janette describes therapy as joint work. She aims to help people trace where a problem began and then develop realistic steps to lighten the emotional load. That can include learning new ways to manage thoughts, noticing patterns in relationships, or building everyday coping skills.

She also addresses a wide range of life challenges such as parenting strain, caregiving stress, addiction issues, chronic illness and career worries. Practical themes like sleep, anger and intimacy are included alongside longer-standing concerns such as trauma and bipolar management.

Janette says she values continued learning and recently completed a Level 7 Diploma in counselling supervision. This underpins her reflective practice and shows a focus on ongoing professional development.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Janette's approaches can work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or patterns that repeat in relationships by looking at early bonds and current connections.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which helps when someone needs space to make their own meaning and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear techniques for anxiety, low mood and coping with change by testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janette collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the mix of approaches as needed, so the plan evolves with the client's needs.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit counselling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The practical aim is to make therapy easier to attend and to use methods that suit everyday routines.
