About Kate
Kate Janach draws on a background in general and mental health nursing to offer calm, practical support for people facing big life challenges. She works in the United Kingdom and is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
Kate aims to listen without judgement and to help people understand what has happened to them and what matters next. She describes counselling as a shared process rather than giving advice.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on making sense of difficult events such as bereavement, relationship endings, trauma, or workplace stress. Clients are given time to reflect, name feelings, and consider small steps forward. Kate uses an integrative approach, drawing on different ways of working to suit each person.
She tailors techniques to the specific issues someone brings, rather than applying one fixed method. This means practical tools may be combined with time to talk and reflect. Her experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and the effects of abuse or trauma.
She also works with issues such as body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and changes that come with ageing. Sessions can be delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. International clients who speak English can be seen.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the service's booking process.

How different approaches work online
Kate uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them for online work. One common approach is integrative counselling where different methods are combined to match what each person needs; this might include practical coping exercises alongside longer conversations to understand feelings. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which helps people process past harms at a pace that feels manageable and reduces overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree together what feels most useful. This is a collaborative decision that can change as the work progresses, so plans are reviewed and adjusted to fit the client's goals and preferences.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video lets people see facial cues and use similar routines to face-to-face work. Phone sessions can suit those who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to work when a session needs to fit around work or caring duties. These formats expand access and help people keep continuity of care even when life is busy.
