Kat Januchowska , BACP

Kat Januchowska works with people who feel overwhelmed, unsure of themselves, or disconnected from others. She welcomes discussions about anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and struggles with identity. Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to help people find small, practical shifts that ease daily life.

Kat uses a person-centred stance that places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. She also draws on existential ideas that invite people to look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. Conversations focus on what matters now and what the client wants to change.

Sessions are conversational and grounded. Kat helps people notice habitual reactions, body sensations and thought patterns, then tries out different ways of responding. She offers simple tools to manage panic, low mood and stress, and she helps clients practise new ways of relating to others.

Her areas of interest include trauma and abuse, addiction, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and a wide range of life transitions. Kat is able to work in English and Polish and has three years of clinical experience.

Kat is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day-to-day life.

Client-centred and existential approaches for online counselling

Kat brings together person-centred work and existential thinking. Person-centred therapy focuses on the client's experience, listening carefully and reflecting back what matters. It helps with anxiety, low mood and building self-esteem by creating space to be heard.

Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It supports people facing life transitions, questions about identity, and feelings of not belonging by helping them clarify values and take intentional steps.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kat will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt techniques to what feels most useful. Together they will try ways of working and adjust as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be a good option when a quieter audio-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
