About Janice

Janice Stack is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems. Janice also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, sleep or eating issues, and anger.

Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She draws on practical therapies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear, everyday steps rather than abstract theory.

Janice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to look at how earlier relationships affect current difficulties. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used when people need practical tools for emotional regulation.

Work with her tends to be collaborative and straightforward. Conversations look at patterns in relationships, work stress and moments when anger or low mood show up. She helps clients build simple routines and coping practices that fit everyday life.

If someone prefers to continue after an initial meeting, Janice supports planning next steps and short-term goals. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details.

Approaches used in online sessions

Janice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful cycles. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety and ongoing life changes because it encourages small, value-led steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and to practise new responses in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will discuss options and try methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where client feedback shapes what is used week to week.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people continue work on skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help clients manage anger, relationship strain and stress while keeping therapy manageable alongside daily life.
