About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She has worked in the NHS, a hospice, bereavement and cancer support services, and several community centres. Her practice covers relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression and other life stresses.
Janet draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based work and client-centred methods when these fit a person's needs. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and emotionally-focused approaches to help people manage emotions and improve communication. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, focused on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new responses and building manageable skills.
Her method is influenced by existential ideas. That means she helps people look at how they experience the world, their relationships, identity and values. Conversations cover choices, purpose and how daily patterns affect mood and behaviour. Janet also supports people facing life transitions, non-traditional relationships and parenting pressures.
She has specific experience with issues such as addiction, intimacy-related difficulties, body image, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue and chronic illness. Janet has worked in services that support men, women and parents, and in perinatal and bereavement settings.
Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba. Janet accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Janet uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, short experiments and practical strategies for day-to-day problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating concerns.She also uses attachment-based work to look at how earlier relationships shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses. That approach helps when communication, trust or intimacy are central issues. Client-centred methods are used to keep sessions focused on the person's experience and priorities, allowing them to set the pace and topics.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Janet will help the client identify goals and pick methods that suit their needs and preferences, adapting as the work progresses. The focus is on finding what helps in real life rather than following a fixed plan.
Formats for online work are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Discuss practical arrangements during the first appointment so sessions fit around everyday routines.
