Janice Stack, BACP

Janice Stack is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and motivation. Janice believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. She offers steady support when someone decides to make changes in their life.

Janice uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations focus on day-to-day problems like sleep, eating, work pressure and relationship strain. She also addresses more painful experiences such as trauma, grief and addiction concerns.

Her work draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These approaches are used to build coping skills, manage strong emotions and improve communication. Sessions aim to create clear steps so people can practise new ways of responding between appointments.

Janice is comfortable talking about intimacy, gender and sexuality, and the stresses of parenting and caring roles. She also supports people dealing with change - for example separation, career shifts or ageing concerns. Therapy is adapted to each person’s goals and pace.

People meet with her by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled to fit the person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most to the person and on taking small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, stress and many everyday problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. That way a plan is agreed collaboratively and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face from another location. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can suit people who want written check-ins, brief reflections or to fit therapy into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
