About Janine
Janine Hodge is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She combines psychotherapy and coaching to help people who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, anger, grief and relationship strains.
Janine draws on a variety of approaches to work through what's keeping someone stuck. She looks for repeating patterns, attachment dynamics and how early experiences shape present reactions. Sessions focus on understanding those patterns and reducing the unhelpful mental noise that fuels negative thought loops.
Her background includes founding Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy and training as an integrative psychotherapist to CPCAB Level 5. She has worked as a counselling lecturer and clinical supervisor and maintains membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
In practical terms Janine helps people identify the beliefs and behaviours that keep them feeling misaligned, then supports steps that change those patterns. That might mean working on boundaries, shifting responses to anger, or rebuilding confidence after difficult relationships.
Work is collaborative and grounded. Janine combines elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and solution-focused techniques to form a way forward. The emphasis is on clearer thinking, steadier emotional responses and rebuilding a sense of purpose.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Janine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as core tools. ACT focuses on noticing what matters and taking values-based steps, which can help when anger or avoidance get in the way of living well. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful response patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed path.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making conversations possible when scheduling is tight. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to help people keep therapy consistent alongside work and family demands.
