About Janice
Janice Stack is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years' experience working with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and confidence, and related concerns such as depression and relationship issues.
Janice works in plain, direct language. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and looks for their existing strengths. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that can help day to day.
Her background includes a mix of talking therapies. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred methods. These tools are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Janice also draws on attachment-based ideas and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when relevant. That can mean exploring how past relationship patterns affect current stress, or practising simple skills for managing strong feelings.
She has worked with a wide range of issues including addictions, grief, trauma, intimacy related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and career stress. Janice accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from abroad and offers sessions in English.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Janice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for long-running anxiety, low mood and life-direction questions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify specific thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. CBT often involves setting small tasks between sessions to test new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use a camera or who need lower-bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer different formats, so check which formats Janice currently provides when you arrange a session.
