About Janis
Janis Dreosti is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue. Janis includes coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas as well as ADHD-related challenges.
Her style is relaxed and interactive. Sessions aim to help people feel at ease so they can talk about what matters to them. Janis listens first and then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals for therapy.
Janis uses a blend of practical methods tailored to the individual. She draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the focus on the person’s experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools offer short-term strategies for coping and moving forward.
When trauma is part of the picture she concentrates on the impacts that remain, rather than pressing for detailed accounts of past events. Work proceeds at the client’s pace, using coping techniques and psycho-education to build understanding and emotional control.
Janis has five years of experience and holds BACP registration, and she has worked with a local charity supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, PTSD and depression. The first session is an opportunity to describe current difficulties and agree what to work on together.
How Janis uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities, with the counsellor following the client’s lead and offering supportive reflection to help clarity and decision making. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and low mood by teaching practical exercises and small experiments. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the ongoing effects of trauma rather than requiring detailed retelling, teaching coping skills and ways to manage intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods collaboratively and adjust them as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change if something is not working.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find exercises and homework easier to use between sessions when meeting remotely, and approaches like CBT and mindfulness adapt well to these arrangements. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical session arrangements when you start.
