About Kat

Kat Januchowska is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they do not belong. She listens with attention and helps clients identify patterns that keep them from feeling steady. Kat works in English and Polish and is based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Kat combines a person-centred style with existential ideas to help people explore meaning and choice in their lives. Sessions are practical and reflective. Conversations often look at how current feelings link to past experiences and everyday choices. Kat supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life changes.

She also helps people manage stresses around work, money, parenting and identity, including LGBT concerns and addiction-related struggles. Issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiving strain and chronic illness are within her focus areas.

With three years of experience, Kat aims to create a calm space for honest conversation. She encourages self-acceptance and clearer decision-making rather than quick fixes. The work often involves noticing body responses, emotions and recurring behaviours to find new ways of coping.

Practical next steps include choosing a subscription plan, completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions according to the therapist's availability. Confirm the current session formats before booking to make sure they suit your needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the conversation. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what matters to you and follows your pace to build trust and clarity. This approach is useful for worries about self-esteem, relational struggles and everyday stress.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It helps people who feel stuck, unsure about direction, or weighed down by difficult decisions. Sessions can include honest discussion about values and how to live in line with what matters.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kat will work with each person to decide which elements suit their goals and preferences. She treats this as a shared decision and adjusts the focus as needs change.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, care commitments and travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment is hard to arrange. Many people find remote sessions reduce the time taken to attend and make regular meetings simpler to keep in a busy week.
