Janos Bene , BACP

Janos Bene is a UK-based therapist who brings three years of professional counselling experience to his practice, backed by broader years of working with people in varied settings. He is credentialed with the BACP - a recognized UK counselling and psychotherapy association - which reflects his training and commitment to professional standards. Though he also trained as an Advanced Hypnotherapist with 19 years of experience, he does not use hypnotherapy in his current counselling work; rather, that background has shaped his calm, attentive approach to listening and questioning.

Janos works with adults on issues such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt or shame. In sessions he can explore past experiences to help identify underlying patterns, or focus on present challenges and practical coping strategies, depending on each person’s needs.

He practices from a client-centered perspective that values the individual’s expertise in their own life and emphasizes collaboration. Janos aims to help clients access their existing strengths and build the resilience needed to move toward a more fulfilling and happier life. He frames the decision to start therapy as a courageous step and offers steady, supportive guidance throughout the process.

Client-Centered Approaches and Online Access

Janos practices primarily from a client-centered perspective, which focuses on empathic listening, acceptance, and helping clients explore their own goals at their own pace. This approach aims to create a respectful space where people can clarify values, rebuild self-esteem, and address issues like anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and family conflict.

Within that client-centered framework, Janos emphasizes collaborative exploration of past and present experiences to identify patterns and practical steps forward. He works alongside clients to decide whether to look into historical roots of a problem or concentrate on current coping strategies, tailoring the work to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Janos is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, helping clients fit therapy into busy or changing lives while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship.
