About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with a ten year background working across NHS services, hospices and community agencies. She holds BACP accreditation and uses that experience to support people facing loss, relationship strain, sleep difficulties and life transitions.
Janet draws on a range of approaches to suit each person. She describes her stance as existential - asking how someone makes sense of their life, relationships and values. Sessions are offered as a place to talk through what is troubling you and to think about choices and meaning.
Her work has included supporting people after bereavement, helping those navigating career or role changes, and offering practical help with stress, anxiety, low mood and addictions. She also works with intimacy issues, body image, eating concerns and parenting stresses. Sleep and rest concerns are among the issues she addresses in conversation and planning.
Janet has worked in women’s centres, bereavement agencies, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and services for men, which has informed a flexible approach to different life stages and pressures. She blends person-centred listening with cognitive and relational ideas to shape sessions around what each person needs.
People who come to her will find a calm, non-judgemental manner and a focus on practical next steps. She helps clients explore patterns in relationships, make decisions and build routines that support daily life and better rest.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times shown on the platform.
Therapeutic approaches and taking therapy online
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It looks at patterns formed in close bonds and helps people notice and change recurring ways of relating, which can be useful for intimacy, trust and family concerns.Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own answers. This approach helps with low mood, self-esteem and making sense of life choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. Janet will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt methods as you go, moving between listening, exploring relationships and practical cognitive strategies when helpful.
If you are considering online work please confirm the session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or caring duties, avoiding travel time and using quieter moments during the day for brief check-ins. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver the same therapeutic conversations online as in person, and this can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions while you work on sleep, stress and relationship goals.
