Greg Janiszek, BACP

Greg Janiszek is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems and career concerns. Greg brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions and aims to create a space where someone feels heard without judgement.

He trained to a level that included a Master’s in Education with Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Greg has around three years of experience and has worked in varied mental health settings, including NHS IAPT services. That background gives him familiarity with common struggles people bring to therapy.

Greg uses an integrative style that adapts to each person’s needs. He draws on person-centred work to offer warmth and empathy, psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns, and cognitive and behavioural tools to support practical change. This mix lets him move between exploring past influences and building new coping skills in the present.

In sessions he aims for straightforward conversations about what’s getting in the way, and practical steps to try between meetings. He also focuses on helping people develop more awareness and emotional flexibility so they can handle future stressors better.

People come for a range of issues from parenting strain and caregiver stress to commitment and control issues, body image and sexual culture matters. Greg works collaboratively to set goals and adjust the work as needs evolve.

How different approaches guide online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It is often used when someone wants to build values-based goals and tolerate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It is useful when someone wants structured tools and clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to choose methods that suit their goals, preferences and life situation. That may mean trying one way for a few sessions and adapting if it does not fit. The emphasis is on a shared decision about what feels helpful.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work while living in a different country, since international clients are accepted. Ask about practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your routine.
