About Janis
Counsellor (BACP) in the United Kingdom with six years' experience helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma and parenting concerns. Janis Sims uses Client-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide conversations and practical work with clients.
Janis describes clients as experts in their own lives and builds sessions around what each person brings. She focuses on strengths people already have and on small, manageable steps that can change day-to-day coping. Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings, practicing skills for emotion regulation, and looking at patterns in relationships and behaviour.
Her work covers a range of concerns including low self-esteem, motivation, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, career stress and mood challenges. Janis also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and communication problems. The emphasis is practical support rather than labels.
Janis offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. She uses the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership (BACP) as her stated credential. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for concerns about self-esteem, motivation and adjusting to life changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT gives concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behaviour. Sessions can include coaching in breathing, distress-tolerance techniques and ways to improve emotion regulation for problems like addictions or intense anxiety.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape interactions. It can help with intimacy-related issues, relationship strain and grief by clarifying emotional needs and responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process shapes how sessions proceed and which exercises are tried.
The practical benefits of meeting remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and having therapy without extra travel time. Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and make it simpler to continue care across locations.
