About Kat
Kat Januchowska is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stressful and painful life changes. She aims to support those feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of their sense of belonging. Kat uses a calm, reflective style to help people find clearer ways forward.
She works from a person-centred perspective that keeps the client's experience at the centre of sessions. That means conversations concentrate on what matters to the individual now, and on building understanding rather than on labels. Kat also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and responsibility when people face big decisions or losses.
Kat has three years of professional experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers work in English and Polish and supports a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties.
In sessions she helps people notice patterns in their thinking, feelings and behaviour, and to consider small, practical changes that make daily life easier. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, with space to reflect on emotions and on how values shape choices. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She also works with issues often linked to caregiving and ageing, including caregiver stress, chronic illness and adapting to life-stage changes. To begin, readers should confirm the current session formats before booking so they know how Kat is offering therapy at that time.

How Kat's approaches shape online working
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and reflecting it back without judgement. This helps people feel understood and encourages exploration of their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility when people face loss, big transitions or uncertainty. It can help when someone wants to think about values, purpose and how to live with difficult decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kat will discuss what matters to the client and try different ways of working to see what fits. That collaborative process helps identify whether a focus on acceptance, practical changes or meaning-making best supports the client's goals.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow someone to join from a familiar room. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can suit shorter check-ins or when video is difficult, while scheduled conversations work well for deeper reflection and planning.
