Greg Janiszek, BACP

Greg Janiszek is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem. He works with issues such as ADHD, addictions, trauma, grief, sleeping problems, and career or life transitions. Greg also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of other emotional challenges.

He writes that his style is warm, respectful and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to help people feel seen and heard while talking through what is causing distress. Greg uses practical strategies as well as deeper exploration so people can manage difficult feelings and make real changes in day-to-day life.

Greg trained in integrative counselling and holds a Master’s in Education with Psychology. He also holds a diploma in integrative counselling and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has three years of clinical experience and has worked in NHS IAPT services alongside private practice.

In practice he adapts what he uses to each person. That might include person-centred conversations to build trust, psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns, and cognitive-behavioural techniques for coping and regulating emotions. The aim is to combine depth with practical tools people can try between sessions.

People who choose to work with him typically start by clarifying what they want to change. From there he helps map small, achievable steps and supports people as they test new ways of thinking and behaving. He encourages self-awareness, resilience and gradual progress toward the life someone wants.

How his approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking small actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and situations where avoidance has taken hold. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and improve mood and sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy, trust and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss different options with each person and decide which ideas to use based on needs, goals and what feels workable. That choice is collaborative and can be revisited as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online or remote session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around work, family life or travel, reduce commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins if needed. It also means people can continue regular meetings when circumstances change, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and emotional understanding rather than logistics.
