About Janine
Janine Kennedy is an NCPS counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with over 10 years of experience. She sees people for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, eating and food-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, ADHD and anger. She also works with career worries, low self-esteem, addictions and coping with life changes.
Her practice draws on client-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness methods. Janine uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people explore choices and build practical steps forward. Sessions aim to identify patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems cycling, and to try small, manageable changes.
She has a particular interest in abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress and chronic pain, illness and disability. Janine also supports people dealing with communication and control issues, divorce and separation, and domestic violence concerns. Her work covers eating and food-related problems, emptiness, and family of origin difficulties.
Janine describes a collaborative way of working. Conversations tend to clarify goals, test unhelpful thinking, and practise new responses. Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused steps are used when helpful. Motivational approaches are brought in where change feels needed but hard to start.
Sessions are carried out in English and Janine accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Janine uses CBT, mindfulness and collaborative work online
Janine mixes client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness practices. Client-centred work focuses on understanding a person’s experience and priorities so the therapy follows their lead. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily signals.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client agree goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan together based on what feels useful and realistic. That might mean short solution-focused steps one week and mindful breathing or thought-challenging exercises the next.
The original biography states she works online, but does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes accessing therapy from different locations possible while the therapist and client decide which methods suit them best.
