About Kate

Kate Janach is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as relationships, grief, parenting, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and Kate accepts international clients.

Her background includes general and mental health nursing, which gives her insight into pressures faced by people working in health and medical fields. She describes her approach as integrative, combining different ways of working to suit each person's needs. In practice that means she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address current problems and past experiences that still affect daily life.

Kate emphasises listening without judgement and helping clients think through choices rather than giving direct advice. She focuses on building a steady working relationship with clear, regular sessions. Together with the client she will look at what is important to them and what they want to change moving forward.

Examples of concerns she commonly addresses include coping after bereavement or separation, difficulties with intimacy and commitment, managing anger, and work-related stress or compassion fatigue. Additional areas listed include attachment difficulties, blended family issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and responses to domestic violence or disaster.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the service's booking process.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Kate's stated practice is integrative and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach used in integrative work focuses on understanding how past attachments and abandonment issues affect present relationships, helping people untangle patterns and develop clearer expectations in intimate and family relationships. Another commonly utilised technique addresses stress, anxiety and trauma by teaching practical coping skills and by processing distressing memories so they have less impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may change over time as sessions reveal what helps most, and decisions about method are taken together rather than imposed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions from different locations when travel is difficult. It can also reduce time spent commuting and make regular weekly meetings more achievable for people balancing work, study or caregiving.
