About Janet

Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with over 10 years of experience. She has worked across the NHS, a women’s centre, a hospice, bereavement services, perinatal mental health, a cancer support centre and a men’s counselling service. Janet brings a calm, non-judgemental presence to sessions and focuses on what matters to each person.

Her background includes work on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with addiction, intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, anger and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Additional interests include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image. Janet draws from a range of approaches to shape sessions around each person. She uses ideas from attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural methods, among others.

Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life choices and actions. Her style is existential in outlook - she helps people think about identity, values and purpose. That means looking at how someone experiences the world rather than judging their feelings.

This can suit people sorting life transitions, making difficult decisions or aiming to understand themselves more clearly. Janet aims to offer a supportive space where people can begin to make sense of what troubles them. She works collaboratively to set goals and to build practical steps for change and recovery.

If someone is ready to start, she will work alongside them through the process.

How Janet works online

Janet uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and responses. This approach can help with difficulties in close bonds, trust and patterns that repeat in relationships. She also draws on client-centred work, which focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. That helps people feel heard and decide their next steps. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical experiments to change mood and behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with you about your needs, goals and what feels workable, then together you will pick methods that suit you. The process is collaborative and can change as your goals evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Working remotely can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people who live further away to access a therapist with relevant experience. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can tailor online work to focus on relationships, grief, trauma and practical coping skills, using the same approaches they would in person.
