About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with ten years' experience in public and voluntary services across the United Kingdom. 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 offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can begin to make sense of what is troubling them. She speaks English and Yoruba and can work with clients from different backgrounds, including international clients.
Background and approach
Janet draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person's needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She also uses client-centred methods to make sessions focused on the person's experience.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want practical ways to change thoughts and habits. People come to Janet for many reasons, including relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress and depression. She also supports issues such as addictions, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem and career questions.
Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and body image worries. Her style is existential in outlook - she helps people explore identity, values, choices and a sense of purpose. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the client guiding what matters most.
Janet offers straightforward conversation, reflective listening and practical tools where helpful. She has ten years' experience working in varied settings and brings that background into her practice. If someone is ready to begin, she supports them through change and recovery at a thoughtful, steady pace.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Janet will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift or progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or want brief, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and to keep continuity when life changes.
