About Kat

Kat Januchowska is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety and a wide range of life difficulties. Kat helps people who feel overwhelmed, unsure of belonging, or stuck in repeating patterns.

She focuses on the mind-body connection and encourages attention to thoughts, feelings and bodily experience. Sessions tend to look at how patterns show up in relationships and daily life, and what small changes might feel manageable to try.

Kat describes therapy as a practical conversation about what is happening now and what matters most to the person. She supports exploration of grief, depression, panic, addiction and relationship problems, among other concerns listed in her profile. Work can include reflecting on attachment, boundaries and communication skills.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles, which means the person leads the pace and focus. Existential ideas are also used to look at meaning, choice and how to live with uncertainty. These ways of working are intended to help people notice options and make clearer decisions.

Sessions are offered in English and Polish. Kat notes that therapy can be especially useful when life changes, caregiving pressures, or long-term stress make daily functioning harder. To begin, people are asked to use the site matching process and arrange an initial session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is about following the person's lead and focusing on their concerns. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most and helps clarify priorities, which can help with anxiety, relationship problems and low mood.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and how people live with uncertainty. It helps when someone is wrestling with life changes, identity questions or feeling stuck in repeating patterns. Conversations may include exploring values and what gives a person purpose.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which ideas and exercises to try, checking in about what helps and what feels too much. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time to goals and preferences.

The site biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer choices about being on camera or not. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to help clients manage anxiety and phobias within daily life.
