Kat Januchowska, BACP

Kat Januchowska welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where they belong. She frames the first conversations so clients can say what matters most. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel heard and to find small, practical steps forward.

Kat uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person's experience in the room. She encourages people to describe what they notice in their bodies and thoughts, and she follows their lead to make sense of patterns that cause distress. The work is paced to the individual's needs and done in everyday language.

Her approach is also informed by existential ideas about meaning, choice and responsibility. That helps when people are facing big life questions, grief, or doubts about identity. Together they look at how values and choices shape daily life and emotional wellbeing.

Kat has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and Polish to people living in the United Kingdom. Available session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, grief, addiction, ADHD, self-esteem and career worries. She also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client's lead to build understanding. This approach is useful for people who want empathic listening and practical ways to notice and change unhelpful patterns.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when someone is facing life transitions, grief, identity doubts or big decisions. Sessions encourage people to consider how values and choices shape their emotional life and everyday routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kat will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas feel most helpful, adjusting methods as goals change. That means starting with what matters to the client and being flexible about how sessions proceed.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less data and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write when it's easier to reflect in words or when they need frequent, brief check-ins. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to keep therapy going when life is busy.
