Kate Janach, BACP

Kate Janach recognises that life can bring unexpected storms that leave people searching for somewhere to shelter. She works with individuals who find themselves at crossroads, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or coping with recent events such as bereavement, the end of a relationship, the loss of a pet, or traumatic experiences, as well as with issues from the past that remain unresolved.

She offers a warm and supportive space in which to explore those experiences and the feelings that come with them. Kate listens with empathy and respect and without judgement, aiming to help people feel heard and understood rather than to give direct advice. Her focus is on supporting clients as they examine the difficulties they face, allowing time to reflect on what matters to them and to consider possibilities for the future.

Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the therapeutic process, and Kate believes in building a reliable, regular place to meet where clients can feel safe to be heard. As an integrative counsellor she blends different styles and techniques to suit each person, recognising that one size does not fit all when it comes to therapeutic work.

With a background in general and mental health nursing, Kate has particular insight into the pressures experienced by people working in healthcare and related fields. She is a qualified and fully insured counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Beyond qualifications, she emphasises the importance of the relationship between therapist and client and is committed to high professional, moral, and ethical standards in her work.

Integrative approaches and online therapy

Kate works from an integrative perspective, combining methods and techniques that best fit each person's needs. Integrative counselling brings together complementary ways of working so sessions can be tailored to address issues such as relationship difficulties, grief, stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions in a way that suits the individual.

Alongside an integrative stance, Kate uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are grounded in research and clinical practice. These approaches focus on helping people understand patterns, develop coping skills, and build practical strategies to manage symptoms and everyday challenges, which can be useful for problems like low mood, addiction-related concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and self-esteem issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kate works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful. She will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to shape a programme of work that fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or travel, and allow people, including those living internationally, to maintain continuity of care with registered professionals regardless of location.
