Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with ten years' experience working across NHS services and several charitable and specialist settings. She has supported people at 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 combines that practical background with a person-focused, existential way of working.

Her approach centres on understanding how each person experiences the world. She pays attention to relationships, identity, values and life choices.

Background and approach

Sessions are a space to talk about what matters and to make sense of distress without judgement. Janet uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred ways of working, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

The choice of method depends on your needs and goals. She helps people with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports issues such as addictions, LGBT and intimacy-related matters, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger, low self-esteem and career stress.

Janet works with a wider range of focus areas too, including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, codependency and communication problems. She also addresses complex personality concerns and neurodiverse presentations such as ADHD. Language options include English and Yoruba.

Janet offers sessions for people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients for online work.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Janet commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and connections, which can help with intimacy, attachment worries and relationship difficulties. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following your lead so you can explore what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is another option she may draw on to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical ways to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together decide which methods make the most sense. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what you need in the moment and over time.

Online therapy sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or other commitments.
