About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with more than ten years' experience working across health and community settings in the United Kingdom. She has worked in the NHS, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a cancer support centre, a perinatal mental health charity, a women’s centre and a men’s counselling service. Janet draws on a range of approaches to meet each person's needs.
She offers sessions in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients.
Background and approach
Janet describes her approach as existential. She listens without judgement and helps people look at how they experience the world. Conversations often focus on relationships, identity, values and life choices.
She aims to help people make sense of distress and move towards change. In practice Janet uses methods from attachment-based work, client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful. She also brings in techniques from dialectical behaviour work and emotionally-focused approaches for emotional regulation and relationship clarity.
These are chosen to suit the person and the issue they bring. People contact Janet about a wide range of problems. These include relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, addiction and stress-related issues.
She also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness, ageing, caregiver strain and career transitions. Sessions are conversational and aim to build understanding and practical ways forward. Janet encourages small steps that fit a person’s everyday life.
If a person is ready to begin, she works with them to shape the pace and focus of the work.

Approaches that guide online work and what they offer
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, distance and trust in their relationships and can support changes in how they connect with others.Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding from your point of view. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space so you can explore values, identity and the choices that matter to you.
Cognitive behavioural ideas address the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. This practical work can help with anxiety, low mood, unhelpful habits and sleep or eating worries by testing and changing small patterns over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with you about your needs, goals and what feels most helpful. Together you will try methods and adjust the focus so therapy fits your life and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, brief reflection or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy going while managing busy schedules.
