About Kate
Counsellor Kate Janach is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with people on relationship and family matters, grief, parenting and coping with major life changes. She also helps with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and several everyday concerns such as sleep, eating, anger and low self-esteem.
Kate explains things in straightforward terms. She does not give advice or tell people what to do. Instead she listens, reflects, and helps people think about what matters to them next. Sessions aim to make space for the person to name problems and consider options.
Her approach is integrative, which means she draws on different therapeutic styles to meet the needs of each person. That can include techniques to manage stress, ways of looking at difficult patterns, and practical coping ideas. The choice of methods depends on the individual and their situation.
Before working together she takes time to establish a working relationship. That relationship is central to how she works. People are supported to set the pace and plan what to focus on in sessions.
Kate has a background in general and mental health nursing. That experience gives her a practical understanding of pressures faced by people working in health and medical settings. She is a registered member of the BACP and holds professional insurance.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions are arranged via a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Kate uses an integrative way of working, bringing together a few well known, evidence-based techniques. One approach focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and attachment - it helps when past connections affect current relationships. Another offers practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as ways to manage reactions and to reduce daily overwhelm.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor and the person will review what is helpful, try different methods where needed, and agree what to focus on. The aim is to find a way of working that fits the person's needs and preferences rather than applying a single model.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life. It may reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and offer ways to meet without needing to be on camera. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical needs, and this counsellor will discuss which arrangements suit each person when you book.
