专业经历
Janice is a Humanistic Therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through periods of transition, growth, and emotional challenge. Her practice is trauma-responsive and grounded in deep relational work, drawing on two decades of experience across the UK and internationally, including some of the most discerning individuals and families.
Known for her down-to-earth presence and practical insight, Janice specialises in working with those navigating personal transformation; whether that means addressing arrested development, exploring identity, or redesigning a life that no longer feels aligned. She supports clients in moving beyond emotional blocks and into greater clarity, confidence, and fulfilment.
Her approach is integrative and immersive. Alongside talk therapy, Janice draws on the therapeutic potential of movement, the outdoors, and travel. She incorporates elements such as Blue Mind theory, nature exposure, and embodied awareness. She works closely with each client to foster long-term wellbeing and resilience, guided by the belief that therapy should not only support recovery, but unlock a deeper sense of possibility.
Janice Stringer is a Humanistic Practitioner at Harbor. For more than 20 years, she has worked with people recovering from addiction and with those who want to redesign their lives.
She has worked with high-net-worth clients in the UK and abroad, including in specialist mental health settings. Much of her work is with people at a turning point, when their way of life no longer works for them.
Alongside this, she supports clients through emotional difficulty and helps them work out where they want their lives to go.
Professional Background & Qualifications
Janice trained as a counsellor with CPCAB (the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body). She earned a Certificate in Counselling Skills and a Certificate in Counselling Theory in 2003, then completed an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2005.
In 2021, she completed a mindfulness for stress course with Oplex Careers.
Healthcare Leadership & Experience
Janice is used to working with clients who need a high level of discretion and closely tailored support.
Beyond addiction and recovery, she works with people on questions of identity and personal growth. She also helps clients with arrested development, when emotional growth has stalled at an earlier stage of life, as well as those navigating major changes.
Her work has often taken her into private homes and luxury hospitality settings, so she is used to supporting people outside a consulting room, in the middle of their everyday lives.
Approach to Care
Janice’s approach is practical and built on her relationship with each client, and she adapts it to the person in front of her. Beyond talking, sessions may involve movement and exercise, time in nature, travel or simply everyday experiences.
She also uses mindfulness, which she has trained in, as part of her work. Her aim is to help clients become more aware of themselves and build lasting wellbeing.
