About Kat

Kat Januchowska welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, unsure of themselves, or cut off from others. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people find small, practical steps when life feels heavy or confusing. Kat aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can say what matters to them and start to untangle what’s causing distress.

Kat uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person’s experience in the room. She pays attention to feelings, thoughts and everyday behaviours, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She also draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice to support people facing big life decisions or identity questions.

Her stated interests include stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and coping with life changes. She also lists work with LGBT concerns, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem and a range of neurodiversity and attachment-related issues. These areas are mentioned so people can judge fit and bring specific concerns to the first session.

Kat holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of experience working with clients in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.

To begin, people are invited to reflect on what they most want to change and then use that as the starting point in sessions. Kat encourages steady progress through clear, compassionate conversation and practical tasks between meetings.

How therapy approaches work online and in practice

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without directing, reflects what is said and helps the client find their own solutions; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship struggles. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help people who face big life changes, identity issues or feelings of disconnection.

Choosing an approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist will work collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs and preferences, checking in and adjusting the way they work together as goals and understanding develop.

Please confirm which session formats Kat offers before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also let people meet from different parts of the country while keeping continuity of care with a single therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical options and help arrange a schedule that suits everyday life.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
