About Janine
Janine Ellis offers straightforward, person-centred support for adults feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. She is Janine Ellis, BACP, and she talks with people about stress, anxiety, relationship pain, grief, and difficulties around identity and intimacy. Her tone is calm and practical so conversations are clear and focused on what matters to each individual.
Janine trained in integrative counselling and has three years of experience working with adults.
Background and approach
She blends relational, person-centred work with ideas from psychodynamic thinking, attachment theory and mindfulness. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her rather than a fixed method, so things are explained plainly and checked in on as therapy progresses.
Her background includes many years in the music industry, and she has experience supporting people who work in music and related creative sectors. This helps when clients bring industry-specific pressures or unusual work patterns into sessions. Janine values practical steps as well as reflective conversation, so clients leave with both insight and small actions they can try between meetings.
People who prefer an empathic, down-to-earth approach often do well with her style. She aims to build trust without judgement and to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. The work can address trauma, low self-esteem, attachment issues and grief while keeping focus on day-to-day coping.
Janine practices in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She speaks English and works with individuals aged 18 and over. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Janine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Janine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside person-centred work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, useful for anxiety or life changes. Attachment-based ideas look at how early bonds influence current relationships and help people spot and change repeating patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process that can change as issues evolve and new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, please check the therapist's current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in between commitments. It also lets people use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult and supports regular continuity when in-person meetings are hard to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and reflective conversation so they work well across different meeting methods.
