About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with more than 10 years of practical experience. She has worked in the NHS, a women’s centre, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men’s counselling service. Janet draws on a range of approaches to help people who are facing difficult times.
Her work often focuses on relationships and family concerns, as well as trauma and grief. She also helps with depression, anxiety, stress, addictions and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. People bring practical worries too, such as parenting strain, sleeping and eating problems, career change and coping with life transitions.
Janet describes her stance as existential. She does not judge emotional suffering and pays attention to how each person experiences the world. In sessions she will explore relationships, identity, values and choices alongside the difficulties you bring.
Her practice also includes attachment-based perspectives and brief structured tools such as cognitive behaviour approaches and emotion-focused work. She aims to match ways of working to what a person needs, combining talking, reflection and practical strategies when helpful.
Janet offers a calm, safety-oriented space for people who want to make sense of distress or to deepen self-understanding. She works in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. If you are ready to begin, she supports people through change and recovery.
How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy
Janet draws on attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas to structure sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they connect with others, useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and follows what you bring to the session, which helps when you want space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer practical tools for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns, using clear steps and exercises.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Janet will discuss your goals, preferences and the difficulties you face, and then suggest ways of working. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what helps you most.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule short sessions during a lunch break, or letting someone choose audio-only check-ins when they prefer not to be on camera. The therapist will talk through practical arrangements and adapt methods so sessions suit everyday routines.
