Janice Stack, BACP

Janice Stack is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, and supports those trying to find motivation and greater confidence. Her style is warm and straightforward, centred on listening and practical steps people can use between sessions.

Janice views each person as the expert in their life and works from that starting point. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits, and then tries small changes that fit their life. Conversations are plain and goal-focused, and she uses techniques that people can apply at home and at work.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances empathy with practical tools. Janice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide the work. She does not present therapy as a one-size-fits-all solution and explores what methods suit each person.

Her background includes supporting a range of concerns such as relationships, grief, addiction and trauma, alongside common life stresses like career change, parenting and sleeping problems. Janice pays attention to patterns that hold people back and helps them find alternatives they can use day to day.

She welcomes people who want clear steps and a thoughtful listener. To begin she asks for a brief intake so she can match practical goals to a person’s circumstances and preferences.

Approaches to help you online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match what matters most. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at everyday thoughts and habits and tests them with small steps, which can reduce worry and improve sleep and routine. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with closeness and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. The plan can change as progress is made, and decisions about approach are made together rather than imposed.

Practical online benefits include fitting sessions into busy schedules and keeping therapy part of day-to-day life. Many people find it easier to attend from work during a break or to join from wherever they are based internationally. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking to check times and how sessions take place. Online work can still use the same ACT or CBT exercises and attachment-focused conversations you would expect in person, adapted to suit your routine and needs.
