About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with more than 10 years of practice across health and community settings. She has worked for the NHS, a women’s centre, a hospice, a bereavement service, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men’s counselling service. Janet draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet people where they are.
Janet takes an existential approach to therapy. She looks at how each person experiences the world without judgement.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on relationships, identity, values, choices and a sense of purpose. She also uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive and skills-based work when appropriate. That means practical ways to manage anxiety, mood and stress alongside space to reflect and make meaning.
Sessions can include discussions about attachment, coping with change, and resolving past hurts. Janet supports people with many concerns, including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, stress, anxiety and addictions. She also works with eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, career questions and ADHD related worries.
Her background includes specialist roles in bereavement, perinatal mental health and cancer support. Those settings have shaped a calm, steady style that balances practical tools with deeper reflection. Janet speaks English and Yoruba and works with people in the United Kingdom and beyond.
If someone wants to explore life transitions, non-traditional relationships, or to deepen self-understanding, Janet offers time to talk and practical steps to move forward.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers active listening and reflection so clients can explore feelings, values and choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses clearer steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes to mood and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will discuss options and agree a plan that fits the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to maintain continuity when travel or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
