Janet Kwegan, BACP

Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with over 10 years of experience working across health and community settings in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has worked in the NHS, a women's centre, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men's counselling service. Janet draws on that background to support people facing big life changes and emotional distress.

Her style is grounded and direct. She uses an existential lens to look at how a person makes sense of their life, and combines that with client-centred listening and practical tools from cognitive approaches. Sessions are calm and focused on what matters to the client. Janet aims to help people clarify values, make difficult choices and rebuild after loss.

Janet works with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports people with addictions, intimacy and self-esteem issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain and workplace stress. Additional focuses include attachment matters, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

She offers a supportive space for people who want to understand themselves better or manage a specific problem. Conversations typically explore relationships, identity and purpose, while also teaching practical coping skills. Janet accepts clients internationally and provides sessions in English and Yoruba.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The subscription model is used for scheduling and payment and can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users follow the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before booking.

How Janet's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people understand patterns in relationships and build new ways of connecting.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The therapist listens without directing, so clients can explore their values and identity at their own pace; this suits people seeking reflective support and deeper self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Used online, CBT gives clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits through practical exercises and regular check-ins.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit for the person.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still working on attachment patterns, self-understanding and practical coping skills.
