About Janice

Janice Stack is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and related concerns. Janice also supports clients facing relationship strain, grief, addictions, anger and life transitions.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that cause distress. Sessions focus on practical steps and on recognising existing strengths. Janice describes clients as the experts on their own stories and treats her role as a guide rather than an authority.

Her approach draws on several established methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. That mix lets her combine values-based goals, skills for managing thoughts and feelings, and a focus on what a person finds meaningful.

People who come for help with anger can expect to talk through triggers, practise grounding or thinking skills, and plan different responses for difficult moments. Work can also include addressing related problems such as sleep, substance use, or relationship conflict.

Janice aims for clear, practical sessions. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers tools a person can try between meetings. If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with ongoing anger, motivation and life changes by shifting attention toward what matters rather than trying to force emotions away.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them, and building new habits for calmer responses when triggers arise. That approach is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and managing anger responses.

Client-centred work emphasises listening and reflection. The therapist helps people clarify their own goals and supports them as they try new ways of responding to tense situations. This can be useful alongside skills-based methods.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Janice will work with a client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as they learn what helps. That collaboration helps shape practical tasks and skills to use between sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also mean using or dropping camera use according to a person’s preference and bandwidth.
