About Janine

Janine Kennedy helps people deal with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating and body image concerns, and the effects of trauma and loss. She works in a collaborative, client-centred way and uses practical techniques to address thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Janine is registered with NCPS and has 10 years of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidant personality patterns, blended-family matters, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Janine pays attention to both eating and food-related issues alongside relationship and communication problems.

In sessions she mixes client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods also feature when they fit the goals a client brings. Janine aims to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and to try new responses in everyday life.

Her approach involves listening first, then agreeing practical steps to try between sessions. She uses questioning to prompt reflection and supports clients to set small, manageable goals. The emphasis is on clear, achievable changes rather than lengthy theory.

Sessions are offered in English and Janine accepts international clients. She works online and asks people to confirm current session options before booking. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Janine uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise a person’s perspective and concerns, offering time to talk and be heard while the counsellor follows what matters to the client. This approach helps with building understanding and identifying priorities for change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavioural steps. It is useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, eating-related concerns and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and simple self-regulation skills that can reduce reactivity and assist with stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will discuss options with each person and agree which methods to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning aims to make sessions useful and relevant from the start.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography notes she works online but does not list specific formats. Many people find online counselling easier to fit into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work, or reducing the need to be on camera; discuss what suits your situation when you first make contact.
