She explains the counselling process clearly and checks in about what is helpful. If you are thinking about starting counselling, Janine asks people to try one step at a time. The focus is on making therapy feel understandable and relevant to daily life. She invites clients to bring their real concerns and goals to the room so they can work on them together.

How Janine’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than on set techniques. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief and coping with big life changes.

In practice the therapist and client decide together what to try. Janine takes a collaborative stance and checks in about goals and preferences as the work continues. Finding the right fit is part of the process and she will help shape sessions around what feels most useful for each person.

If you want to use online sessions, check the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, enabling quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or reducing the need for a long commute. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower-bandwidth options. Many registered or accredited professionals find that talking online still allows for meaningful, practical work on everyday problems.
