About Kate
Kate Janach is a counsellor who helps people facing stressful life moments. She works with individuals who feel stuck after loss, relationship endings, trauma or sudden change. She listens without judgement and aims to provide a calm, steady space to talk through what matters most.
Her background is in general and mental health nursing, so she understands pressures in healthcare and caring roles. She combines that experience with counselling skills to support people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress and problems with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
Kate practises an integrative approach, drawing on different techniques to match each person’s needs. She does not give advice but helps clients reflect, clarify priorities and make decisions about their next steps. The focus is on building a dependable therapeutic relationship first, then working from there.
Kate is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, written as BACP. She has four years of experience in counselling and carries professional indemnity insurance. Her work emphasises respect, empathy and practical thinking when emotions feel overwhelming.
Sessions can cover a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, addiction, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing chronic illness, bereavement, career strain and other major life transitions.
How Kate adapts therapeutic techniques for online work
Kate uses a small number of evidence-based techniques and adapts them to online formats. One common approach is a problem-focused method that breaks issues into manageable steps and teaches practical coping strategies for stress, anxiety and sleep difficulties. Another is a reflective, person-centred style that focuses on understanding feelings and building a trusting relationship to process grief, trauma and relationship pain.Finding the right way to work is collaborative. The therapist will discuss different methods with the client and agree which fits their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and then adjusting it, or combining techniques to better match what the person needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and body language matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need to fit sessions into a tight schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care even when travel or work makes in-person visits difficult.
