About Kate

Kate Janach is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, stress and anxiety, and a wide range of related difficulties including trauma, addiction, and depression.

She writes plainly about life feeling like a storm and aims to offer a steady presence while people make sense of what has happened. Sessions focus on talking through current struggles and recent losses as well as difficulties from the past that still affect day-to-day life. Kate does not give direct advice or tell people what to do; instead she helps clients reflect on what matters to them and what they might want next.

Kate describes herself as an integrative counsellor. That means she uses different ways of working together depending on what a person needs. She draws on her background in general and mental health nursing to understand the pressures faced by people who work in health and medical settings.

Her practice attends to specific family-related concerns such as blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and caregiving stress. Other areas she supports include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating or sleeping problems, chronic illness and cancer related distress, and compassion fatigue.

People who choose to work with Kate build a regular meeting place to talk through difficult feelings and decisions. The emphasis is on listening, respect and creating a steady therapeutic relationship that can hold the practical work of coping, planning and recovery.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Kate describes herself as an integrative counsellor, which means she blends different evidence-based techniques to suit a person's needs. One common approach she uses focuses on talking and reflecting to make sense of losses and relationship problems; this helps with grief, communication issues and decisions about next steps. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment and patterns formed from earlier relationships; that can help when people struggle with intimacy, abandonment or commitment worries.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the work itself. She will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and together decide which approaches to try. The therapist and client review how things are going and adjust the methods used as needed.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care if someone moves or is travelling internationally. Registered or accredited professionals like Kate aim to adapt the practical details so therapy fits around everyday life.
