Janice understands that families come in all shapes and sizes and has extensive experience working with LBTQ+ families.

Janice has qualifications in Dialectic Behaviour Therapy, Family Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Systemic Psychotherapy and is experienced in Narrative Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.
