Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with over 10 years' experience working in a variety of settings across the United Kingdom. She has supported people in the NHS, a women’s centre, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men’s counselling service. Janet draws on a range of approaches to tailor therapy to each person. She holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her credentials list.
Janet describes her style as existential and person-centred. She focuses on how people experience the world, not on judging their feelings. Sessions often look at relationships, identity, values and the choices that shape a person’s life.
Practical concerns such as grief, depression, anxiety, stress and codependency are among the areas she addresses. She also helps with addiction, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures and workplace stress. Additional focuses include attachment issues, abandonment and caregiver stress.
Janet uses approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural methods and emotionally-focused work alongside client-centred listening. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where the person’s goals guide the work. She aims to help people make sense of what’s troubling them and to support change and recovery.
Janet speaks English and Yoruba and has experience with a wide range of life transitions and non-traditional relationships. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to take the first step and start a conversation about what they want to change.
How Janet's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work helps people look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape reactions today. It can be useful when relationship safety, trust or emotional closeness are a struggle.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters to the person in front of the counsellor. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to talk through values, identity and life choices.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It can support problems such as anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet aims to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she will discuss options in early sessions so the client can decide what feels most useful. The process is collaborative and guided by what the client wants to change.
