About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with over 10 years' experience working across NHS services and a range of community settings. She has supported people at a hospice, a bereavement agency, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre, a women’s centre and a men’s counselling service. Janet holds BACP registration and brings that background into her clinical work.
She describes an existential approach that looks at how each person experiences the world. She helps people talk about relationships, identity, values and life purpose. Janet listens for what matters most and helps clients make sense of distress or transition.
Janet uses several therapy approaches when appropriate, including attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred ways of working. She adapts tools and conversations to fit the person rather than applying a set script. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflection.
She has particular experience with relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and stress. Other areas of focus include addictions, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, career questions and coping with life changes.
Janet offers a calm, non-judgemental space to explore difficult feelings. She aims to help people move towards clearer choices and more manageable day-to-day routines. If someone is ready to make changes, she works alongside them through that process.
How Janet uses talking therapies online
Janet draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy to shape online work. Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships affect feelings and behaviour, helping people notice patterns in close connections and try different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janet will work collaboratively to identify goals and test methods that feel useful. Together they will try approaches, see what helps, and adjust the plan based on what a client prefers and needs.
If you plan to have therapy online, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking without being in a clinical building. Registered or accredited professionals can offer similar kinds of work remotely, and Janet will discuss how to make sessions practical for everyday life.
