Janos Bene, BACP

Janos Bene is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). He greets people in a warm, unassuming way and focuses on helping them make sense of their current struggles. His style aims to be calm and attentive so people feel heard from the first session.

People commonly bring stress and anxiety to sessions. He also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and questions about self-esteem and motivation. He talks through what is happening now, and can also look at past experiences if that would be useful.

His approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which means the client leads the pace and topics while the counsellor offers listening and reflection. Sessions usually centre on understanding the client’s priorities and building on their existing strengths. The work is practical and conversational rather than technical.

Janos aims to collaborate on goals that feel realistic and relevant. He encourages people to notice small shifts and to use those steps to gain confidence over time. People can expect straightforward guidance and an emphasis on what they want to change.

If someone is unsure how therapy might fit into their life, Janos supports a gradual start and adjusts the pace to suit each person. He frames therapy as a shared process where the client’s view shapes each session.

How Client-Centred Work Can Fit Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s lead. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps people clarify their priorities, and supports them to find their own solutions. This approach often helps with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns by making space to notice feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the client to decide whether Client-Centred ways of working feel helpful and to adapt the pace and focus as needs change. The aim is a collaborative plan shaped by the client’s goals and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session options available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around life commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from a familiar room or who need an option that avoids being on camera for every meeting. Always check the specific session formats offered when you arrange appointments.
