Janice Dias Dabawala , BACP

Janice Dias Dabawala is a UK-licensed therapist with 8 years of professional experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a range of related concerns. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, addiction, family and parenting challenges, grief, intimacy-related struggles, anger, career transitions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. As a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she brings a standards-based approach to her work and draws on established clinical methods to help clients move toward meaningful change.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and tailors conversations and treatment plans to meet unique needs and goals. Janice emphasizes a collaborative process that balances practical strategies with an understanding of deeper patterns, helping clients build confidence, motivation, and clearer direction. She recognizes that reaching out for support requires courage and aims to provide steady, professional guidance through that first step and beyond.

Janice’s practice is focused on creating a supportive therapeutic relationship that adapts to the individual. Her work combines empathetic listening with tools designed to relieve immediate distress and support longer-term growth, always shaped by the client’s priorities and pace.

Approaches Janice Uses for Online Therapy

Janice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT can be helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness practices can ease emotional reactivity, support stress management, and strengthen self-compassion.

She may use Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients clarify goals and identify practical steps toward change, concentrating on strengths and what works rather than dwelling solely on problems. This approach often suits people seeking targeted, goal-oriented progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janice works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to prioritize or blend in sessions to best support progress.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, allowing clients to engage in therapy from varied locations while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
