Kat Januchowska, BACP

Kat Januchowska is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing big life questions and emotional strain. She speaks English and Polish and holds BACP registration, and she approaches sessions with attention to each person's lived experience.

People come to her when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and challenges linked to identity and sexuality. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, career questions, long-term health issues and attention difficulties.

Kat draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation rooted in what matters to the person in front of her. That means listening closely, reflecting what is shared, and helping clients name patterns that get in the way of feeling better. She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and the values that shape decisions.

In sessions she helps people notice difficult habits and try small changes. Conversations can include looking at emotions, life goals, and practical steps for coping day to day. The aim is to find approaches that fit each person's life and values, not to push one method on everyone.

Kat has three years of professional experience and practises in the United Kingdom. She asks people to use the service's Start Therapy flow to match and arrange sessions, and she does not accept international clients at this time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person in the room. Online conversations using this approach aim to give space for honest reflection, help name feelings, and support practical coping steps for stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. In remote sessions this can help people facing big midlife decisions or shifts to clarify values, weigh options, and accept what can and cannot be changed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to see which ideas and ways of working best match their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean combining listening-focused work with values-based conversations as progress unfolds.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt conversations to suit quieter moments, telephone-only meetings or conversations that do not require video, depending on what the client and therapist agree will help most.
