About Janine

Janine Kennedy is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years of clinical experience. She works online and offers tailored support for people facing eating and food-related issues alongside stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. Janine uses straightforward, practical sessions aimed at making life feel more manageable.

She draws on person-centred care to create a respectful, listening space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify and shift unhelpful thinking that keeps problems stuck. Mindfulness approaches are used to build calm and teach ways to return attention to the present.

Janine also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies. These approaches help people find their own reasons for change and identify small steps that fit into daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools rather than lengthy theory discussions.

Her background includes working with people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions and long-term health challenges, along with parenting and family-of-origin concerns. The profile lists NCPS as a credential; NCPS is shown as the supplied credential in her details.

Janine offers an approach that mixes listening with structured techniques. The aim is to increase resilience, improve coping, and support changes that matter to each person. People interested in starting can follow the site's matching and booking process to arrange an initial appointment.

How Janine uses evidence-based approaches online

Janine blends person-centred (client-centred) work with cognitive behavioural techniques to support people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people make sense of their own feelings, which can be especially useful for eating and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change patterns that maintain distress.

Mindfulness methods are also part of her practice, teaching simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce rumination and increase calm. Together these approaches help people notice unhelpful habits, try new responses and set modest, achievable goals. Finding the right mix is collaborative; the therapist and client work together to pick methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit talking therapy into a busy life - it can make appointments easier to schedule, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when plans change. Online work can also make it simpler to use homework exercises between sessions and to practise skills in everyday settings.
