About Kat

Kat Januchowska is a counsellor who supports people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their place in the world. She listens for where someone feels too much or not enough, and helps them name what is happening. Conversations aim to create clearer connections with others and with oneself.

Kat works in a practical, person-centred way. Sessions focus on how thoughts, feelings and bodily responses show up day to day. She encourages noticing patterns and trying small changes that feel manageable. This plain approach is intended to ease anxiety, low mood and the strain of big life changes.

Her background includes three years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Kat speaks English and Polish and sees people in the United Kingdom.

People come to her for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and family tensions, chronic illness and caregiver stress, addiction, ADHD and body image worries. Kat also offers support around work and career strain and compassion fatigue.

Therapy sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. The emphasis is on building self-acceptance and noticing what changes feel possible. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect a person with the right session times.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood. It centres the person's experience and helps them find their own solutions to stress, low mood and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and belonging. It can help when life changes or uncertainty leave someone asking who they are and what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide what feels most helpful based on goals and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or fitting sessions into a lunch break. It also allows people to meet with a therapist who speaks English or Polish without needing to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit remote conversations and practical day-to-day needs.
