About Kat

Kat Januchowska welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to connect with others. She meets people asking if they are "too much" or "not enough" and offers a calm place to talk those worries through. Kat writes in plain terms and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

She draws on client-centred and existential approaches in her work. That means time is spent listening to what matters most to the client and helping them make meaning of difficult experiences. Sessions focus on honest conversation about feelings, choices and personal values rather than jargon or quick fixes.

Kat has three years of experience and is a member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background supports work with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting strain and related challenges. She also lists focus areas such as self-esteem, career matters, ADHD, compassion fatigue and issues around adoption, attachment and ageing.

People can expect practical conversations about how patterns developed and what might shift them. Kat encourages clients to notice thoughts, body signals and everyday habits so small changes can build over time. She supports exploration of identity and belonging alongside coping strategies for tough moments.

Sessions are offered in English and Polish. Kat practises in the United Kingdom and does not work with international clients at this time.

How these approaches can work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection so a person can clarify what matters and feel understood. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with self-esteem.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and personal values. It invites people to reflect on life direction, responsibility and what gives life purpose. This style is useful for coping with life changes, grief and feelings of not belonging.

Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. If something needs adjusting, they will adapt the way they work together rather than sticking to a single method.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more regular check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who find calmer or quieter settings helpful, or who prefer not to be on camera during parts of a session. Registered or accredited professionals can support healing and change through these flexible arrangements, while tailoring sessions to each person's needs.
