Janice Stack, BACP

Janice Stack is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and motivation. Janice approaches each person as the expert in their own life and aims to build on their existing strengths. She frames the first steps into therapy as acts of courage and offers steady support through those early changes.

In sessions she listens first and asks simple, direct questions to clarify what matters most. She uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to help people notice difficult feelings and take steps that match their values.

Janice also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to create a warm, non-judgemental space. That helps people who want to work on relationship issues, grief, intimacy or trauma and abuse. She can also support concerns about addictions, eating and sleeping, parenting and major life changes.

Practical goals are set together so progress is clear and manageable. Sessions aim to leave people with simple strategies to use between meetings. Janice welcomes people who prefer straightforward, respectful therapy and who want to try concrete steps towards feeling better.

Sessions are carried out in English and Janice accepts international clients. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes where avoidance keeps problems going.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses structured exercises and simple homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the person to pick techniques that suit their goals, needs and style. That collaborative choice is revisited as progress is made so methods can be adjusted if something is not helping.

If you are considering online sessions, check which formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online counselling easier to schedule around work and family life, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. It can be a practical way to use CBT and ACT tools between sessions while keeping therapy consistent with everyday routines.
