About Janine
Janine Ellis works with adults seeking clearer ways to manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. She is a BACP counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Janine uses a person-centred approach that starts with listening.
She focuses on building trust and on understanding what matters to each person. Sessions are non-judgemental and based on collaboration so clients can guide the pace and focus.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Masters with distinction in Integrative Counselling and three years of clinical experience. Before counselling she spent twenty years in the music industry, so she understands pressures that come with creative work and unusual hours. This experience has also shaped her interest in helping people with identity, purpose and work-related stress.
Therapy draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Janine blends these with mindfulness and client-centred techniques to suit individual needs. She aims to help people notice their patterns, try new ways of responding and build clearer values-based goals.
People often come to Janine for help with grief, trauma and intimacy-related worries, body image or problems with communication. She offers practical tools and gentle reflection to help clients make changes that last. The focus is on what clients want to achieve and finding steps that feel manageable.

Online support
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Janine will talk with each person about their needs and goals and suggest which approaches might help most. Decisions about style and pace are made together so therapy fits the person's preferences and life circumstances.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins, need flexible timing or want a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress and reflection.
