About Janet
Janet Kwegan is a counsellor with ten years of experience working across health and community settings. She has supported people in the NHS, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a cancer support centre, a perinatal mental health charity, a women’s centre and a men’s counselling service. Janet draws on a broad clinical background to offer practical help for difficult times.
She works in a straightforward, non-judgemental way. Janet uses an existential frame to look at how each person experiences the world.
Background and approach
That means talking about relationships, identity, values and the choices that feel most important to you. Her practice combines approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based work and client-centred methods. She also uses cognitive behavioural and dialectical strategies when they fit the issue being addressed.
Sessions focus on what is happening for you now and on small steps you can try between meetings. Janet helps with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addictions, stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, body image and eating or sleeping problems.
Additional areas include career change, ageing concerns, chronic illness and attachment or abandonment worries. Sessions are available in English and Yoruba and Janet sees international clients. She aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can make sense of their difficulties and decide on practical next steps.

Online support
How emotion-focused and attachment work translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name the emotional experiences that drive their reactions. It supports people who struggle with connection, intimacy or recurring relationship patterns by helping them identify feelings and respond differently.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape present relationships and coping. It can be useful for people working with abandonment, attachment issues or ongoing patterns of distance and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, offering a respectful, listening space where the client’s priorities guide each step.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet will work together with you to choose which methods fit your situation and goals. That collaborative planning means you can try different ways of working and adjust as things change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you work face to face when needed, phone sessions can suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and messaging or chat can fit around busy days or provide a written record of thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule appointments and keep continuity when life is busy or travel is difficult.
