About Kat

Kat Januchowska is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed, not enough, or unsure where they belong. She speaks English and Polish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood struggles and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to create a trusting space so people can talk through what matters to them and find small, practical steps forward.

Kat draws on client-centred methods that place the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She encourages straightforward reflection about thoughts, feelings and behaviour so people can notice patterns that keep them stuck. She also uses existential ideas to help clients consider meaning, personal values and how to make choices that feel more authentic.

Her practice covers a wide range of topics including depression, panic, grief, addiction, ADHD and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with major life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness and concerns linked to adoption or attachment.

Kat is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of clinical experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She explains the BACP credential as a recognised professional registration in the UK.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Step 3

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s own concerns and responding with empathy and non‑judgemental listening. Online sessions can give space to talk through feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes between meetings.

Existential Therapy looks at life choices, personal values and the search for meaning. It can help when someone feels stuck, unsure about identity, or overwhelmed by big life transitions. Conversations explore what matters and how to make clearer decisions that align with personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the way they meet as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quieter check‑in during a break. It also offers the flexibility to choose phone or video depending on comfort, bandwidth or whether a shorter, camera‑free session is preferred.
