About Kat
Kat Januchowska offers a calm, straightforward space for people feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. She notices when someone feels "not enough" and helps them find clearer ways to manage stress and strong emotions. Her first priority is helping each person feel heard and understood.
Kat works from an exploratory, person-focused stance that centres the client's experience. She draws on client-centred ideas to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
How Kat works
She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, choice, and how people make sense of difficult life events. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Conversations may include looking at everyday patterns, how feelings show up in the body, and small steps that make life more manageable.
Practical strategies are mixed with time for reflection so people can try things between sessions. Kat has three years of professional experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. She works in the United Kingdom and offers support in English and Polish.
She does not take international clients. People meet her for help with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, coping with life changes, and relationship or intimacy-related worries. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, parenting strain, and caregiver stress.
She can help with issues linked to attachment, body image, chronic illness, and other complex challenges. Her approach is collaborative. She will listen first, then shape sessions around what the client finds most useful.
That may mean practical coping techniques, reflective conversations, or a blend of both.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead, creating a space where people can talk about what feels most important. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, and feeling stuck by prioritising understanding over instruction.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how people respond to life changes or loss. It can help when someone is questioning purpose, facing difficult decisions, or coping with grief and major life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and exercises fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying practical coping steps, deeper reflective conversations, or a mix of both depending on what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is needed. Phone sessions or messaging work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection or want to pace a conversation over time.
