About Greg
Greg Janiszek works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and trauma. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy issues and sleep problems. Greg's profile notes experience with parenting and career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges linked to chronic illness and caregiving.
Greg practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. He has three years of professional experience and has worked in NHS IAPT settings as well as independent practice.
Background and approach
His background includes a Master’s in Education with Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Greg describes his style as warm, respectful and non-judgemental. He aims to create a space where people feel seen and heard.
Sessions focus on understanding what's causing distress and on practical steps to feel better in day-to-day life. He draws on several approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. This includes Narrative ideas about the stories people tell about themselves, cognitive and behavioural techniques for changing unhelpful patterns, and attachment-aware thinking to look at relationship patterns.
In practice Greg combines reflection with active tools. He will listen for recurring patterns, help name them, and suggest exercises to build emotional regulation and practical coping. The goal is more clarity, resilience and useful ways to manage difficult feelings.
Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can arrange appointments in English and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online session options
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Greg combines Narrative approaches with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-aware thinking to shape online work. Narrative work helps by separating you from problem-focused stories so you can see other possibilities and make different choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match your values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and avoidance. Attachment-informed approaches look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, communication and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Greg will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that feel most useful. That collaborative process means the plan can change as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging let you work in shorter exchanges and fit counselling around busy days. These options help people keep therapy going alongside work, family and daily life.
