About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She has worked 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 helps people with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, stress and a wide range of related concerns.
She also supports those facing life transitions, making difficult choices, negotiating change and non-traditional relationships. Janet describes her approach as existential - she does not judge emotional distress but looks at how each person experiences the world. That perspective brings focus to relationships, identity, values and a sense of purpose.
Practically, she draws on several established ways of working including cognitive behavioural approaches, client-centred practice and attachment-informed ideas. She adapts what she uses to the issue at hand rather than following a single method. Sessions typically involve talking through what is troubling you, noticing patterns and trying practical steps to test out different ways of relating and coping.
Janet has experience supporting people with issues such as addictions, intimacy and sexual concerns, body image, parenting strain, ADHD, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She works with people concerned about abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems.
Sessions are conducted in English and Yoruba and Janet accepts international clients. If you want to begin, you are invited to use the site matching process to choose and schedule a first appointment.
How Janet uses therapy approaches online
Janet commonly draws on attachment-informed work and cognitive behavioural approaches. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns of relating and how early relationships influence current trust, closeness and conflict. It can help when guilt or shame shows up in relationships or when connection feels difficult. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a clear, practical way and tries small experiments to test unhelpful patterns, which can suit issues like anxiety, depression or intrusive guilty thoughts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will discuss what feels most relevant to your situation, your goals and how you prefer to work, and then try approaches together to see what helps in practice. She adapts her focus as sessions progress rather than fixing a single method from the start.
Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific online methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or offering quieter surroundings when that helps. They can also let you work with a therapist who has particular experience even if they are not local, while practical arrangements are agreed through the site booking process.
