Janet Kwegan , BACP

Janet Kwegan is a family-oriented therapist with more than 10 years of experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, loss, trauma and life transitions. She has worked across a range of settings including 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, drawing on that breadth of practice to tailor support to each person’s circumstances.

Trained in approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centred practice and phenomenological methods, Janet blends practical techniques with explorations of meaning, identity and relationships. Her style is informed by an existential perspective that seeks to understand how a person uniquely experiences the world rather than judging emotional suffering. This helps clients examine their relationships, sense of self, values, choices and purpose as they work toward change.

Janet offers help with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting and intimacy-related issues, as well as more specific challenges such as attachment and abandonment, caregiving stress, body image and career-related difficulties. She provides therapy in English and Yoruba and is accepting new clients, including international clients.

Janet is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and aims to provide a supportive space where people can begin to make sense of what is troubling them and move toward recovery and growth.

Attachment, client-centered, and CBT approaches for online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relational patterns shape the way people connect with others. It helps when difficulties with intimacy, abandonment, trust or relationship cycles are getting in the way of wellbeing by exploring emotional bonds and how to build more secure interactions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and collaboration, creating a space where a person’s own understanding and values guide the work. This approach supports people who want to deepen self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, or navigate major life decisions and transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used to address anxiety, low mood, stress and patterns that interfere with daily functioning, offering tools to manage symptoms and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Janet works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as the work unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging can make it easier to access consistent care around work, family and travel commitments. These options increase flexibility and make it possible for people to receive support from wherever they are, enabling continuity of care and timely access to a licensed professional when needed.
