About Kate
Kate Janach is a counsellor who draws on four years of experience to support people through difficult times. She aims to be a calm, steady presence when life feels overwhelming. Kate offers a listening ear without judgement and gives people space to work out what matters to them.
She trained originally in general and mental health nursing, so she understands the strains faced by people working in healthcare. Kate is a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and carries professional insurance. She describes her role as one of support rather than advice, helping people to make their own decisions.
Kate practises in an integrative way, combining different styles to suit each person she sees. That means sessions are shaped around individual needs rather than a single technique. She focuses on building a dependable therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.
People come to her with many concerns, including anxiety and stress, grief and bereavement, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, and low self-esteem. She also works with concerns linked to chronic illness, caregiving stress, ageing, and body image.
Sessions are intended to give time to understand recent or past events and to plan for the future. If someone feels unsure about starting, Kate encourages a short conversation to see if the approach feels right for them.
How therapeutic approaches and online work can fit your life
Kate describes herself as an integrative counsellor, which means she blends different evidence-based techniques to suit the person in front of her. One common approach used in integrative work is talking-based therapy that helps people process difficult events and make sense of strong emotions; this can be helpful for grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Another commonly used method focuses on practical coping strategies - simple tools for managing anxiety, stress, sleep or mood that can be practised between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the person and agree what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try, review progress, and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant to the person’s goals and circumstances.
The profile does not list available session formats, so please confirm the exact options when booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel and allowing sessions at times that suit work or family routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that helps someone focus. Registered or accredited professionals offer online work that aims to be practical and adaptable to everyday life.
