About Janine

Janine Kennedy is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years of experience. She presents a warm, person-centred way of working and adapts her approach to each person's needs. Janine offers help for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and issues around eating and body image. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, addiction and life transitions.

Janine combines client-centred ideas with practical cognitive techniques. She listens carefully and helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns. From there she works with clients to build small, usable tools for coping and change. Mindfulness is woven into sessions to help regulate emotions and reduce reactivity.

Her practice also covers attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, blended family and family of origin concerns. She is experienced in supporting people facing chronic pain, illness and disability as well as caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. Janine is familiar with working around ADHD-related struggles and commitment or control issues.

Janine holds NCPS as a recorded credential. She offers therapy from the United Kingdom and works with people in English. International clients may take part where arrangements allow. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability. Janine aims to create a collaborative space where practical steps and clearer thinking make day-to-day life easier.

How Janine blends approaches for online therapy

Janine uses client-centred work and cognitive-behavioural methods to help people make practical changes. Client-centred therapy means sessions begin with listening and understanding the person's experience, then following their priorities. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and eating-related concerns.

Mindfulness is often woven into sessions to help people notice feelings without reacting immediately. Together, these approaches aim to increase self-awareness and build small skills that can be used day to day. Janine intends to work collaboratively, so finding the right mix of methods is part of the process and shaped by each person's goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options when you book, as formats are arranged through the matching and scheduling steps. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Janine focuses on practical ways to apply what is learned in sessions into everyday routines.
