Kate Janach

Kate Janach offers a calm, supportive approach for people navigating difficult life moments. She recognises that life can bring unexpected storms - from bereavement, the end of a relationship or the loss of a pet, to recent or past traumatic experiences - and that these events can leave someone feeling stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about the future.

Her aim is to provide a warm, safe shelter where clients can explore those experiences and the emotions that accompany them. Kate listens with empathy and respect, without judgement, and frames her role as a supporter rather than an adviser. She gives clients the time and space to understand what they have been through, to clarify what matters to them, and to consider what they want moving forward.

Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the process, and if both agree there is a good fit, Kate works with each person to build a dependable foundation - a regular place to meet and a safe space to be heard. She practises as an integrative counsellor, combining different styles and techniques to match each individual’s needs because one size does not fit all.

With a background in general and mental health nursing, Kate particularly understands the pressures faced by those working in health care and the medical field. She is a qualified, fully insured counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Beyond qualifications and experience, Kate places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work and, as a BACP member, is committed to the highest professional, moral and ethical standards in her practice.
