About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 10 years' experience. She has worked in NHS services, a women's centre, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men's counselling service. She lists relationship, family, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, stress and anxiety among the issues she helps people with.
Janet draws on a mix of approaches rather than one single method. She uses attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements from emotion-focused and dialectical approaches. She says this range lets her adapt to what each person needs in the room.
Her style leans toward an existential view of experience. That means she works with how people make sense of relationships, identity, values and choices. She helps people looking for clearer direction, coping strategies, or a deeper understanding of themselves.
Janet has experience supporting people through life transitions, negotiating change and non-traditional relationships. She also lists practical concerns such as career, parenting, sleep and eating, as well as longer standing problems like addiction, ADHD and anger.
Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and she accepts international clients. Her work has included trauma, bereavement and perinatal settings, so she is used to a range of difficult experiences. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and trust. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in relationships and try different ways of connecting. Client-centred counselling focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what someone says. In an online setting this can help someone feel heard and think through choices and values. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical steps to change them. CBT online often includes short exercises and homework to test new ways of coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on the person's goals, concerns and how they prefer to work. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break, or sessions without needing to travel. It also allows continuing work with a therapist while living in a different location, which can suit people studying or starting work away from home.
