Kate Janach, BACP

Kate Janach draws on a background in general and mental health nursing to offer calm, practical support. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Kate focuses on creating a steady space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make small, manageable changes.

She hears people who feel stuck after loss, relationship endings, or difficult life changes. Kate also supports those dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem, eating or sleeping. Her work covers practical problems such as career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and bereavement reactions.

Kate describes her approach as integrative. That means she draws on different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person. She does not tell people what to do; instead she helps them notice patterns, weigh options, and decide on workable steps forward.

Sessions are intended to be a steady place to be heard without judgement. Kate pays particular attention to issues linked to attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing serious health challenges, grief related to cancer, and the strains of caring for others.

Her background in nursing helps her understand the pressures faced by those working in health settings. Kate works in English and accepts international clients. She is BACP registered and carries professional insurance.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Kate uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to an online setting. One common approach she draws on focuses on understanding patterns in thoughts and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps people identify small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Another approach centres on exploring past losses and attachment issues to improve current relationships and emotional reactions, which can be useful for grief, abandonment worries and intimacy struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose techniques that feel like a good fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat sessions work well for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people write between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and can help fit sessions around work, caring duties or other commitments.
