About Kat

Kat Januchowska is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves. She offers a calm, reflective space for people asking questions like "Am I too much?" or "Do I belong?" Kat writes and speaks plainly so people can understand what to expect from sessions.

She works from a person-centred perspective, focusing on each person's experience rather than fitting them to a set of rules. Sessions tend to concentrate on what someone notices in the moment, and on building self-acceptance as a route to change. Kat also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their lives.

Her approach suits people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, intimacy issues and addictions. She also supports people managing life changes, low self-esteem, career worries, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional interests include attachment and abandonment topics, blended family issues and long-term health or caregiving challenges.

Kat has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Polish. International work is not accepted at this time.

If someone wants to begin, they can start by pressing the continue button on this profile and completing a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows the therapist's availability and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and on empathy, active listening and acceptance. In practice this means the therapist pays attention to what the client says and feels, and helps them notice choices and patterns that matter. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and the choices a person faces. It invites open conversation about values, purpose and how someone wants to live. This can be useful for people facing major life changes, grief or questions about identity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt how sessions run as those needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when arranging your first appointment so sessions match your schedule and preferences.
