About Kate

Kate Janach is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years' experience and works with relationship and family concerns alongside grief, parenting and other life changes.

Kate listens to practical problems and emotional reactions in plain terms. She talks through recent losses, endings or personal setbacks, and helps people notice how these events affect day-to-day life. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change next.

Her background is in general and mental health nursing, so she knows the pressures on people in healthcare roles and other demanding jobs. That experience informs how she talks about stress, burnout and compassion fatigue alongside anxiety and depression.

She describes herself as an integrative counsellor, drawing on different evidence-based techniques to match the client's needs. The work is collaborative - clients and Kate agree on what to try and how to measure progress.

People commonly come for help with blended family issues, co-parenting strain, communication problems and attachment worries. Other concerns she lists include trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem challenges.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Kate describes herself as an integrative counsellor and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address practical problems and emotional distress. One approach she uses is grief-focused work, which helps people process loss, manage strong emotions and rebuild routines after bereavement or separation. Another strand of her practice draws on trauma-informed methods to help people reduce reactivity and make sense of upsetting past events in a paced way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will discuss different options and agree with the client which methods feel most useful. The choice is collaborative and may evolve as goals and needs become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and travel, or helpful when they prefer not to commute. Online appointments can make shorter check-ins possible, reduce time spent travelling, and allow sessions to be scheduled at times that suit everyday life.
