About Janet Kwegan
Janet Kwegan is a family-oriented therapist and counsellor with over 10 years of experience supporting people through relationship, family and life challenges. 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, bringing practical understanding of diverse life circumstances to her work.
She has trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centred approaches and phenomenological methods, and draws on these traditions alongside an existential outlook to tailor therapy to each person. Her practice emphasises exploring how an individual uniquely experiences the world - with attention to relationships, identity, values, choices and sense of purpose - rather than judging emotional suffering.
Janet works with a wide range of difficulties including trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety and addictions, as well as relationship and family issues, parenting, intimacy-related concerns and stress. She also supports people through life transitions, decision making, non-traditional relationships and areas such as body image, caregiver stress and neurodiverse presentations like ADHD.
She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and offers a warm, supportive space where people can begin to make sense of what is troubling them and work toward meaningful change. Janet provides therapy in English and Yoruba and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Janet commonly integrates client-centred therapy, attachment-based principles and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting the client’s own capacity for growth, and it is useful for building self-understanding and emotional resilience. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how early bonds influence current interactions, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment worries and relationship difficulties. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress and unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janet works collaboratively to identify the methods that best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together the therapist and client decide how to combine approaches to support change and develop coping skills.
Online therapy with Janet can take place by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals whether managing busy lives, mobility constraints or international time zones.
