Janet Bellis, NCPS

Janet Bellis is a pluralistic psychotherapist who brings a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and accreditation from the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS). She is also a registered member of the National Hypnotherapy Society, combining therapeutic training with complementary hypnotherapeutic skills. Having supported people through one of the UK’s leading mental health charities, she has worked with a broad range of emotional and psychological concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, life transitions, phobias, panic attacks, and confidence building.

Janet takes a collaborative, integrative approach and tailors therapy to each person’s circumstances. Her practice draws on person-centred methods, solution-focused techniques, and hypnotherapeutic tools to help clients identify what is holding them back and to develop practical, lasting change. She is experienced in addressing complex issues such as addiction, family and parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue, as well as attachment and adoption-related concerns.

Accustomed to working with people from diverse cultural and national backgrounds, Janet is sensitive to the personal context that shapes each individual’s experience. She aims to help clients gain insight, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop new skills and behaviours that support wellbeing. Sessions are offered by video, phone, or chat, with flexible scheduling that can include evening appointments (UK time) to suit international clients. Janet provides a warm, empathetic, and non-judgemental space for those ready to take the next step on their journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Janet integrates several evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that improve their quality of life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses, helping with relationship issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related distress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a supportive, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the client’s experience guides the pace and goals of work, making it especially helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and developing coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor therapy to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access care from home or while travelling. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments around work, family, or differing time zones, and to continue therapeutic work with licensed professionals regardless of location.
