Kate Janach , BACP

Kate Janach offers calm, steady support for people facing difficult life moments and transitions. She recognises that life can bring sudden storms - from bereavement and the end of a relationship to traumatic events or long-standing struggles that continue to affect daily life - and she creates a welcoming space to explore those experiences and their emotional impact.

Working in a nonjudgemental, empathic manner, she focuses on listening and understanding rather than giving direct advice. Her role is to support clients as they reflect on what has happened, identify what matters to them now, and consider what they want their future to look like. That collaborative stance aims to give clients the time and space needed to make sense of their feelings and choices.

As an integrative counsellor, she draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques and tailors her approach to each person, recognising that there is no one-size-fits-all method. Her prior training in general and mental health nursing gives her particular insight into the pressures faced by people who work in health and care settings. Kate is a qualified and fully insured counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and is committed to high professional and ethical standards in her work.

Integrative evidence-based approaches for online care

Kate practices an integrative counselling approach that combines different evidence-based techniques to suit each person's needs. Integrative counselling blends methods from multiple therapeutic traditions so that sessions are tailored to the individual - this can be especially helpful for complex issues like grief, relationship difficulties, or long-standing emotional patterns.

Alongside that, she uses well-researched therapeutic techniques drawn from the evidence base to address specific concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, and changes in self-esteem or sleep. These approaches focus on practical skills and reflective work to help people manage symptoms and explore underlying issues in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kate works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they consider what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Kate is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographical distance, or different comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to access regular support without needing to travel, while still allowing for meaningful, outcome-focused work with a licensed professional.
