About Kat
Kat Januchowska is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting pressures and a range of other life strains. Sessions are offered in English and Polish. She lists family and parenting among her focus areas and also notes work with addictions, grief, intimacy issues and neurodiversity-related challenges.
Kat takes a direct, person-focused approach in sessions. She pays attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as thoughts. Conversations look at patterns that keep people stuck and at small changes that can relieve pressure. Clients can expect practical reflection alongside quieter, reflective moments.
Her stated methods draw on client-centred ideas and existential perspectives. That means the therapist centres the person's experience and examines life meanings and choices. These approaches are used to tackle issues such as low self-esteem, commitment worries, communication problems and coping with life changes.
Kat also lists a number of additional concerns she works with, including attachment issues, adoption and foster care dynamics, blended family issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She is open about addressing complex, overlapping difficulties rather than offering quick fixes.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies by location. To begin, a prospective client selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred therapy places the person's own experience at the centre. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person notice feelings and responses. This approach can help with low self-esteem, communication problems and the everyday demands of parenting. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when people feel stuck, question their role in relationships or face big life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the different ways of working and agree a route that fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may change as issues evolve.
The original biography did not list specific session formats for online work. Please confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household routine, allow shorter check-ins where helpful, and remove travel time that can be hard to manage around childcare or work. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt pace and tasks so sessions suit daily life and the specific concerns being worked on.
