About Kat

Kat Januchowska is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and other early-adulthood challenges such as career uncertainty and feeling behind peers.

Kat focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed or disconnected. She invites clients to look at thoughts, feelings and bodily experience together. Her aim is to support clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses so people can make practical choices about relationships, work and everyday life.

Her approach draws on client-centred and existential traditions. Sessions typically explore how a person's values, choices and current pressures interact. Conversations can include examining behavioural patterns, managing panic or anxiety, coping after loss, and responding to addiction or mood swings.

Kat works with issues that often show up during the transition to independent adulthood. She also addresses complicated topics such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, neurodiversity concerns, body image, and caregiver stress. Sessions may look at how these concerns affect daily routines, relationships and career steps.

She offers therapy in English and Polish. Practical matters such as booking, session length and costs are organised through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and on building a respectful, non-directive conversation. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings, make sense of choices, and develop clearer self-understanding.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and choice. It is useful for people who are wrestling with life direction, identity, or the pressure of major transitions such as finishing university or starting a first job.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kat will explore what feels most useful based on a person's goals, preferences and current problems. That process is collaborative and can change as the work develops.

Practical benefits of online work include being able to fit sessions into busy weeks and to keep therapy going across moves or study terms. If you need specific session formats, please confirm the available options before booking, as the therapist's biography does not list particular formats. Registered or accredited professionals offer online therapy in ways that make it possible to balance appointments with study, shifts and social life.
