Kate Janach, BACP

Kate Janach is a counsellor who offers a steady, calm presence for people facing difficult times. She describes her role as providing a warm shelter where clients can talk through what has happened and how they feel. Kate listens without judgement and aims to help people find clarity about what matters to them next.

Her background includes general and mental health nursing, so she understands pressures faced by people working in healthcare. She draws on four years of counselling experience and works as an integrative counsellor, combining different ways of working to suit each person. This means sessions are shaped around an individual's needs rather than a single fixed method.

In practice Kate does not give advice or tell people what to do. Instead she spends time helping people make sense of their experiences, consider their priorities, and decide the next steps. That may involve looking at relationships, grief, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, or coping after a difficult event.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. Kate holds professional insurance and follows the standards expected by that body.

Finding the right counsellor matters, and Kate aims to build a reliable working relationship with each person. If a good fit is found, she works with clients to create a regular space where they feel heard and can work through their concerns.

How integrative approaches can work online

Kate uses an integrative counselling approach, which means she combines different therapeutic techniques to fit each person. Integrative work might include exploring feelings and memories, practising ways to manage stress, and trying small changes between sessions to see what helps. This approach can be useful for issues such as grief, relationship concerns, anxiety, and coping with major life changes.

Her nursing background also informs her understanding of health-related stress and caregiver strain. That practical experience helps when talking about chronic illness, fatigue, or the pressures of working in healthcare, so conversations can focus on everyday coping and clear next steps.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kate will work with clients to identify their needs, preferences, and goals, and then suggest ways of working together. If a method doesn’t feel right, she and the client can adjust the approach as therapy progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and make sessions possible across different locations, including international arrangements when appropriate.
