About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience working across the NHS, hospices, bereavement services and several charities. She specialises in relationship and family concerns and also supports people with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and a range of life changes.
Janet works in a plain, in-person style that looks at how someone actually lives day to day. She uses practical talking and reflective listening to help clarify choices and understand recurring patterns. She draws on what works from different approaches rather than prescribing a single method.
Her background includes work in a women’s centre, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men’s counselling service. That range means she is used to helping people facing loss, caregiving strain, major health problems and difficult relationship shifts including non-traditional and blended family arrangements.
Janet describes her overall approach as existential. She focuses on how a person experiences relationships, identity, values and purpose. Sessions aim to make sense of what is troubling someone and to identify practical steps they can try between meetings.
People come to Janet when they need help with parenting strain, co-parenting questions, loyalty conflicts, intimacy issues or negotiating new household roles. She also helps with stress, addictions, ADHD-related concerns, body image and communication problems.
Janet offers work in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Janet uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current interactions. This can help when trust, closeness or recurring conflict feels stuck. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small, practical changes between sessions. CBT tools can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk through what you hope to achieve, try different ways of working and adjust the approach as you learn what helps. She aims to match methods to your goals, preferences and day-to-day realities rather than using a fixed template.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a work break, remove travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. If you prefer a mix of conversation and practical exercises, the approaches Janet uses translate into manageable tasks you can practise between appointments.
