Kat Januchowska

Kat Januchowska is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. She speaks English and Polish and works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and other life changes. Kat holds BACP, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her way of working focuses on listening and supporting people to understand how they relate to themselves and others. Sessions are often about noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour and trying small changes. She offers a calm presence and practical conversation rather than long lectures. Kat combines client-centred principles with existential ideas. In practice this means she centres the person’s experience and asks what matters most to them. She helps people name difficult feelings, face uncertainties, and make clearer choices about next steps. Her background includes three years of professional practice working with a wide range of concerns. She has experience with grief and end-of-life themes, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress alongside anxiety, depression and addiction-related issues. Kat also supports people with identity and intimacy questions, parenting stress, neurodiversity-related concerns and chronic illness impacts. People usually begin by describing the difficulty they want to change and then work at a pace that feels manageable. To start, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How client-centred and existential approaches translate online

Client-Centred Therapy begins with giving the person space to tell their story and feel heard. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what comes up, and helps people notice their own strengths and values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and struggles with self-esteem. Existential Therapy invites people to look at life’s big questions and the choices they face. It focuses on meaning, responsibility and how to live with uncertainty. People often use it when coping with grief, major life transitions or questions about purpose. Finding the right fit is a shared process. Kat will work with clients to choose approaches that match their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust as therapy progresses. The aim is collaboration rather than imposing a single method. Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing practical arrangements helps keep sessions manageable and relevant to everyday life.
