About Janis
Janis Dreosti is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anger and coping with life changes. Janis also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, work stress and ADHD related struggles.
Her style is interactive and relaxed. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She focuses on what the client wants from counselling and on simple techniques to manage emotions and thoughts.
Janis uses explanation and psycho-education to help people understand why they feel overwhelmed, numb or unable to switch off. She combines tools from different approaches to suit each person. That can include ways to manage stress, reduce anxiety and improve sleep and motivation.
When trauma is involved she does not push clients to recount events. Instead she concentrates on what the experience has left the person with now and on practical steps to reduce its impact. Pace is set by the client and work focuses on coping skills and emotional regulation.
Janis has worked for over five years with a local charity supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, PTSD and depression. First sessions look at how current issues affect daily life and what the client wants to change. From there she and the client map out small, achievable steps forward.
How Janis uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters to them most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger and change unhelpful patterns.Janis treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then suggest a way of working. That plan can be adjusted as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and practical.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets and relaxation practices from wherever they are, which many find helpful when managing anger, sleep problems or stress.
