Janet Homan, MIAHIP
Psychotherapist
Training & Qualifications:
Janet Homan is an IAHIP-accredited psychotherapist working with adults across a range of emotional and psychological difficulties. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and has completed specialist training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Janet has particular experience supporting adults experiencing OCD, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, workplace stress and life transitions. She also has a particular interest in women’s mental health, post-abortion support, and working with neurodivergent adults, including people with ADHD and autism. Her practice is neurodiversity-affirming, gender-affirming and LGBTQ+-affirming.
Therapeutic Approach:
Her approach to OCD integrates evidence-based CBT and ERP with her broader humanistic and integrative psychotherapy training. She offers a warm, collaborative and non-judgmental therapeutic space, tailoring therapy to each individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Before training as a psychotherapist, Janet worked in HR and office management, with extensive experience mentoring graduates and early-career professionals. This background gives her a strong understanding of workplace stress, burnout, career transitions, professional pressures and organisational dynamics, which she brings thoughtfully into her therapeutic work.
Janet believes therapy works best when people feel genuinely understood rather than judged. Her aim is to provide a compassionate and practical space where clients can better understand themselves, develop new ways of responding to difficulties, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.
