About Kat

Kat Januchowska is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She sees people in the United Kingdom and works in English and Polish. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting and blended family issues among others.

Kat focuses on talking through what feels stuck and on noticing how thoughts and bodily reactions are linked. Sessions are conversational and grounded. She encourages people to name feelings, track patterns and consider small changes that can be tried between meetings.

Her approach is informed by Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy. That means she aims to listen without judgement and to help people make sense of their values and choices. The work tends to focus on present difficulties and on practical ways to respond to them.

People consult her for a wide range of concerns, including coping with life changes, communication problems, anger, self-esteem and issues related to intimacy or addiction. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, autism and blended family issues.

Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.

How Kat’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on being heard and understood. In practice this means sessions focus on the client's experience, with the counsellor reflecting what is said and helping the person clarify feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and issues around self-esteem.

Existential Therapy looks at values, choice and meaning. It invites people to consider what matters to them and how they want to live despite limitations. This can be useful for coping with life changes, grief, career questions and feelings of not belonging.

Choosing an approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will talk through what each method involves and match it to the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people include a session without needing to be on camera if that suits them better.
