Janet Kwegan, BACP

Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with a ten-year history working across health and community settings. 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 uses that range of experience to support people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and major life changes.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She describes her approach as existential, which means she focuses on how each person experiences the world. Sessions look at relationships, identity, values and the choices that shape daily life. Janet offers a calm space to make sense of distress and to consider change.

Janet draws on a number of clinical methods tailored to each person. She works with Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns, uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and applies Client-Centred listening to follow what matters most to the client. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit the work.

People come to her for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, stress, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy worries and ADHD. She also supports people through ageing concerns, caregiver stress, body image and communication difficulties.

Janet practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. She speaks English and Yoruba and is available to work with international clients. To begin, clients follow the site matching steps to schedule sessions.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy

Janet uses Attachment-Based work to help people notice and change recurring relationship habits; this often involves looking at patterns in how people relate to others and to themselves. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her sessions by prioritising the client’s perspective and following what matters most in their experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides practical strategies to address anxious or low mood, with focused exercises to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide what to focus on. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable for day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people avoid being on camera or use lower bandwidth, which can suit different routines and comfort levels. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, attachment-focused reflection and client-centred listening to an online setting, while working with the client to find a practical way to meet regularly.
