Janet Kwegan, BACP

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 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, drawing on that varied background to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centred approaches and phenomenological methods, Janet integrates different techniques to meet practical concerns and deeper questions of meaning. Her practice is informed by an existential perspective - she does not judge emotional suffering but seeks to understand how each person uniquely experiences the world, their relationships, identity, values and sense of purpose.

Janet works with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, addictions, LGBT and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career concerns, ADHD and many other areas. She also supports people through life transitions, difficult choices, negotiating change and non-traditional relationships. A member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she offers a supportive space for exploration and recovery and collaborates with clients who are ready to begin the work of change. Janet provides therapy in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients.
