Kate Janach , BACP

Kate Janach offers warm, steady support for people navigating difficult life moments, from bereavement and relationship endings to trauma, anxiety and stress. She frames therapy as a sheltering place where individuals can explore recent events or long-standing challenges without judgement, and she prioritises listening with empathy and respect. Kate does not direct or advise clients on what to do; instead she helps them examine their experiences, clarify what matters to them, and consider what they want for the future.

Working as an integrative counsellor, she draws together different styles and techniques to suit each person, tailoring the way she works so that interventions fit the individual rather than applying a single method to everyone. Her background in general and mental health nursing gives her particular insight into the pressures faced by those in healthcare and medical roles, as well as an informed perspective on complex emotional and practical needs.

Kate is a qualified and fully insured counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), which reflects her commitment to professional standards. Beyond qualifications, she believes the therapeutic relationship itself - the trust and safety built together - is central to meaningful change and ongoing work.

Integrative approaches and online therapy options

Kate uses an integrative approach, blending different evidence-based techniques to match each person's needs. This means she adapts methods to address issues such as grief, relationship difficulties, stress and anxiety rather than relying on a single model; the focus is on choosing approaches that best support the client’s goals and circumstances.

She also adopts a collaborative, exploratory style that emphasises empathic listening and reflection rather than giving direct advice. This way of working helps clients make sense of past and present experiences and decide on practical steps forward with the therapist's support at their side.

Online therapy with Kate is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support access for international clients, and allow people to meet with licensed professionals from wherever they are while still working collaboratively to find the most effective therapeutic path.
