About Janine
Janine Hodge is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She combines psychotherapy and coaching to help people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm and anger.
Janine draws on a mix of approaches to understand what keeps someone stuck. She looks for patterns beneath day-to-day reactions and helps people notice the thoughts and behaviours that feed anger and frustration. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and reduce the unhelpful mental noise that fuels repeated flare-ups.
As a parent and relationship coach Janine often works with issues around relationships, parenting and identity. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and life changes, and those dealing with resentment, jealousy or problems rooted in family history.
Her background includes work as a counselling lecturer and clinical supervisor, and she runs a practice that blends coaching with psychotherapy. Janine uses ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work to explore how early experiences shape current responses.
In sessions she helps people trace where their patterns come from and then experiment with different responses. That might mean learning ways to notice triggers, trying short practical techniques to ease overwhelming feelings, or identifying values that guide calmer choices.
Janine asks clients to think about what a livable smaller step looks like, then she supports them to practise changes between sessions. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
How Janine uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger rooted in avoidance, rumination or living out of step with what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. It can help reduce repeated angry reactions by changing thinking patterns and practising alternative responses. Attachment-based work explores how early relationships shape typical responses to stress and conflict. Understanding these patterns can make anger easier to recognise and change because you can see where it started. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will explore what feels most useful for each person and adapt the mix of methods to match the client's goals and preferences. That is a collaborative process where small changes are tried and reviewed together. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Many people appreciate online work because it can make scheduling easier, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-ins around work or family commitments.
