Janice Quinn, BACP

Janice Quinn uses a person-centred and attachment-based approach to counselling. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about loss, anxiety, low mood and difficult changes. Janice is introduced here as a counsellor who listens and follows the client's lead. Janice has four years of experience working with adults and teenagers. She helps people facing bereavement, stress, anger, low self-esteem and relationship problems. She also supports those coping with eating-related issues, addiction, ADHD and trauma. Her way of working is straightforward and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Janice trusts that people know their story best and aims to help them rediscover strengths and choices. Janice is registered with the British Association for Counselling Professions, BACP. This means she practises within an agreed professional framework and ethical standards. Clients can expect honesty, respect and steady support while they talk through difficult feelings. Janice helps people address practical challenges such as parenting strain, career stress and family communication problems. She also covers more specific areas like adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and body image. Taking the first step can feel hard. Janice offers a supportive presence as people make changes and find ways to cope better with life events.

How attachment and person-centred work translate to online therapy

Janice draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships affect feelings and behaviour. This approach pays attention to patterns of closeness and distance and can help when someone is dealing with grief, relationship strains or issues rooted in childhood experiences. She also uses a client-centred, or person-centred, way of working that lets the person lead the conversation. The counsellor offers empathy, honest feedback and steady listening while the client explores what matters most to them. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Janice will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and methods fit a person's goals and comfort level. This gives room to try different ways of working and to adjust the focus as therapy progresses. Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can suit shorter check-ins, flexible schedules or people who find writing easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and everyday routines while still accessing a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
