About Kat

Counsellor and BACP member Kat Januchowska helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and other life changes. She has three years of clinical experience and offers sessions in English and Polish in the United Kingdom.

Kat works in a way that focuses on the person's experience here and now. She draws on Client-Centred and Existential approaches to encourage honest reflection and clearer choices. Conversations look at feelings, patterns and what matters most to the individual.

In sessions she listens for recurring behaviours and unhelpful assumptions. Then she helps people notice options and try different ways of responding. That practical focus aims to reduce overwhelm and make problems easier to manage day to day.

Kat also addresses issues linked to identity and attachment, including adoption and foster care, abandonment, intimacy concerns and challenges that come with chronic illness or caregiving. She works with issues such as addiction, bipolar, ADHD, body image and communication problems.

People can expect short, direct conversations and reflective work that brings thoughts and feelings into view. The emphasis is on understanding what is happening now and finding realistic steps forward. Booking starts by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How her Client-Centred and Existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without judgement and reflecting back what the person says. This helps people understand their feelings and make clearer choices about relationship and life problems.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and the limits we all face. It helps when someone feels stuck, like life lacks direction, or when big losses and questions about identity come up. The approach is about making sense of experience rather than applying fixed techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adjust the way they work together. That discussion helps decide whether Client-Centred, Existential or a mix fits best.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make fitting therapy around work, family and travel easier. It can allow for quicker check-ins, fewer travel commitments and sessions that slot into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can offer practical help in this way while working with the issues described in her profile.
