About Janine
NCPS. 10 years' experience. Janine Kennedy works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, eating and food-related concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She uses approaches drawn from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness and motivational interviewing and offers online counselling.
Janine describes her work as practical and collaborative. She listens to what is happening now and helps people untangle thoughts and behaviours that get in the way. Sessions include straightforward discussion and exercises aimed at recognising unhelpful thinking and trying new responses. Mindful techniques are used to reduce reactivity and increase focus in daily life.
Her background includes ten years practising as a counsellor and psychotherapist, with NCPS listed as her credential. She has worked with people facing eating and weight concerns, emotional abuse, boundary-setting, and issues where faith matters to the client. Janine also notes interest in attachment, abandonment and family of origin problems.
She uses elements of motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people clarify goals and take small steps towards change. Cognitive techniques are used to challenge patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Person-centred elements support a collaborative working relationship.
Janine accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Janine uses client-centred therapy in sessions to focus on the person's current concerns and personal perspective. This approach means the counsellor listens carefully and helps people make sense of their own experience rather than imposing a set plan.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve mood and change patterns around eating or relationship responses.
Mindfulness techniques are also part of her work, helping people notice sensations and thoughts with less reactivity. These practices can support coping with stress, overwhelm and chronic worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine techniques over time as goals change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins at a convenient time, or reducing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt tasks and exercises so they work well in remote sessions.
