About Janet Kwegan
Janet Kwegan is a family-oriented therapist and counsellor with more than 10 years of experience working across NHS services, a women’s centre, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men’s counselling service. She combines training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centred work and phenomenological approaches to shape therapy that fits each person’s situation and priorities.
Her practice is informed by an existential outlook - she does not judge emotional suffering but seeks to understand how each person uniquely experiences the world. Janet guides clients to explore relationships, identity, values, choices and their sense of purpose, whether they come in a moment of acute distress or are seeking deeper self-understanding.
She also works with life transitions, decision-making and negotiating change, as well as non-traditional relationship arrangements. Janet holds the BACP credential, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she offers therapy in English and Yoruba. She provides a supportive space where people can begin to make sense of what troubles them and, when ready, take steps toward change and recovery.

Attachment, Person-Centred and CBT for Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings of safety, trust and connection. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and can be useful for issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns and relational distress.Client-Centred Therapy, sometimes called person-centred therapy, places the client’s experience at the centre of the work. A therapist offers empathy, acceptance and reflective listening so clients can clarify values, identity and choices and find their own direction through life transitions and emotional challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, and supports people who want structured strategies for coping and change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Janet works collaboratively with each person and with licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a client’s needs, goals and preferences, adapting as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect across distances and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible, while still working with experienced therapists and licensed professionals.
