Kate Janach , BACP

Life can bring difficult storms and periods of profound change, and Kate Janach offers a calm, supportive presence for people navigating those moments. She frames therapy as a shelter in which individuals can explore recent or past experiences - from bereavement and relationship endings to trauma and the lingering effects of earlier events - and consider how those experiences shape their feelings and choices.

Kate listens with empathy and respect and without judgement. Rather than giving direct advice, she focuses on supporting clients as they examine the challenges they face, clarify what matters to them, and decide what they want for the future. Her approach emphasises the importance of time and space for reflection so that meaningful steps forward can emerge at the client’s pace.

As an integrative counsellor, Kate blends different styles of working to match each person’s individual needs rather than applying a single formula. Her background in general and mental health nursing gives her particular insight into the pressures experienced by those working in healthcare. She is a qualified and fully insured counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Above qualifications, Kate sees the relationship built in therapy as central to the work and is committed to the highest professional, moral, and ethical standards in her practice.

Integrative approaches and flexible online support

Kate works using an integrative counselling approach, combining different therapeutic methods to suit each person’s situation. This means she adapts the way she works to the individual, drawing on techniques that help with relationship challenges, grief, stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. The focus is on finding practical and reflective ways forward that match the client’s needs.

She also employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques, using approaches supported by research to address specific concerns and symptoms. These techniques aim to help people make sense of difficult experiences, develop coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of direction and wellbeing over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Kate works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailors the plan so the therapy fits the person rather than expecting the person to fit the method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which helps fit support into busy lives and across locations. Working with licensed professionals via these options makes consistent, ongoing therapy more accessible while allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
