About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with ten years' experience in health and community settings across the United Kingdom. She has worked in the NHS, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a women's centre, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men's counselling service. Janet draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to respond to what each person needs.
Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and she accepts international clients.
Background and approach
Janet's work focuses on trauma and abuse alongside relationship and family concerns. She also helps people facing grief, depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. Practical life issues such as career choices, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and coping with change are part of her practice.
Her style is grounded in an existential outlook that pays attention to how people experience their world. She explores relationships, identity, values and purpose with clients. Janet uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive and skills-based tools when these suit the situation.
In sessions she aims to offer a steady, non-judgemental space for people to make sense of their difficulties. She works on emotional regulation, communication and coping strategies when those are helpful. The pace is set by the person in front of her.
Janet has experience supporting people with attachment and intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, codependency, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. She is familiar with complex presentations that include chronic illness, caregiver stress and body image problems. Her approach combines practical techniques and reflective conversation to match what a client needs.

How Janet’s approaches work online
Janet uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches alongside Trauma-Focused work to guide online sessions. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect current connections. Client-Centred therapy emphasises listening and reflection so clients set the pace and direction of therapy. Trauma-Focused therapy addresses the impact of distressing events and helps with symptoms like flashbacks, emotional overwhelm and avoidance using structured and gentle methods.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then tailor the mix of approaches. That makes therapy a collaborative process where the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow deeper face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit short check-ins or work around limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer a way to keep in touch between longer sessions or to use brief written check-ins when that suits a person’s routine. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
