About Kat

Kat Januchowska is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. She speaks English and Polish and works from the United Kingdom. Her style aims to make space for honest conversation about identity, belonging and tough life moments so clients can find clearer ways forward.

Kat draws on client-centred ideas to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. She also uses existential perspectives to look at meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain. Together these approaches help people talk through anxiety, depression, grief and struggles with relationships or addiction.

Sessions will include time to tell your story and notice how feelings show up in the body and daily life. Kat encourages simple experiments and reflection between meetings so change can be noticed outside the therapy room. She helps people develop practical coping steps and build more honest connections with themselves and others.

Her work can be useful for those navigating major life changes, dealing with past trauma, coping with long-term illness or facing questions about identity and commitment. She also supports people affected by adoption and foster care related issues and attachment concerns.

Kat has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her approach is straightforward and conversational, aiming to make therapy understandable and approachable for people worried about taking the first step.

Approaches that guide online therapy conversations

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience first. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps you follow what matters most to you, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship questions.

Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning and responsibility. It helps when people feel stuck by questions of identity, purpose or major life shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with you and together you will decide which ways of working fit your goals and preferences. This keeps therapy collaborative and flexible as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when you need them. They can also make it simpler to access a counsellor while managing work, childcare or medical appointments, so therapy can slot into everyday life rather than add to the burden.
