Kate Janach

Kate Janach is a counsellor with a background in general and mental health nursing. She offers calm, steady support to people facing big life challenges. Kate listens without judgement and helps clients make sense of what has happened to them.

She provides a space for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next step. That might follow bereavement, the end of a relationship, a traumatic event, or ongoing strains such as stress, work pressure, or caring responsibilities. Kate aims to help people notice what matters to them and decide what they want to do next.

Kate works in an integrative way, blending different styles of counselling to suit each person. She explains approaches plainly and chooses techniques that fit the individual rather than applying one fixed method. The emphasis is on building a steady, reliable relationship to do the work together.

Her earlier career in nursing gives her particular insight into pressures on people working in health and care. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and carries professional insurance. Kate says the relationship between counsellor and client is the most important part of progress.

People who come to Kate often want time and space to be heard, and practical help making sense of difficult feelings. She supports people through grief, relationship issues, anxiety, burnout, changes in life circumstances, and struggles with self-esteem and coping.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Kate describes her work as integrative, which means she blends different evidence-based techniques to suit each person. One common approach used in integrative work focuses on exploring emotions and past experiences to understand current patterns, helping with grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Another approach emphasises practical coping skills and day-to-day strategies to manage anxiety, stress, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and together with the client decide which ways of working feel most helpful. This collaborative conversation shapes the techniques used and the pace of sessions so the work fits the client's goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt their methods for remote work so progress can continue even when meeting digitally.
