About Janet Kwegan
Janet Kwegan is a family-oriented therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She has worked across health and community 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, and she draws on that breadth of experience when tailoring support to each person.
Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centred methods and phenomenological approaches, she blends practical strategies with a focus on personal meaning to meet each client’s needs. Her practice is informed by an existential outlook - she does not judge emotional struggle but pays attention to how each person uniquely experiences the world, helping them explore relationships, identity, values, choices and a sense of purpose.
Janet works with life transitions, decision-making and negotiating change, including support for non-traditional relationships. She aims to provide a calm, supportive space where people can make sense of what’s troubling them and begin the work of change and recovery. She holds the BACP credential, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and offers therapy in English and Yoruba.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Janet integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and can help with trust, intimacy and recurring relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering a respectful, non-directive space to explore identity, values and choices. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet approaches this collaboratively, discussing options and tailoring methods to each person’s goals, preferences and circumstances so therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy lets people access support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family and other commitments. These remote options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing engagement from different locations and supporting continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
