Janice Stack, BACP

Janice Stack is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Janice encourages practical steps and clear goals so people can feel steadier in everyday life.

Her approach starts with listening closely to each person’s story. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes and on what feels most useful in the moment.

Janice draws on a mix of therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She also uses Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas when they fit the issue. These methods are used to help with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction-related problems, sleeping and eating issues, and coping with big life changes.

People come to Janice for help with practical problems like parenting strain, caregiving stress, career uncertainty and ageing and geriatric issues. She also supports those dealing with trauma, identity questions including LGBT matters, and compulsive behaviour related to substances or food.

Janice works in plain language and aims to make therapy understandable. She guides people through steps that match their goals, whether that means building emotional skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or repairing close relationships.

How Janice’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and to take action in those directions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and try different methods to see what fits best. That plan can change as needs evolve, with regular check-ins about what is helping.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking because specific options were not listed in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. They also make it possible for international clients to connect with UK-based registered or accredited professionals. Discuss at the first appointment how to structure sessions so they suit your routine and goals.
