About Janine

Janine Kennedy is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with NCPS with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship difficulties. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and behaviours that get in the way of day-to-day life.

Janine draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people understand what drives their reactions. She uses mindfulness techniques to slow things down and motivational questioning to uncover what someone wants to change. This mix can be useful for people who struggle with eating issues, addiction, grief, or parenting stress as well as workplace pressures and career transitions.

In conversation she pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and family of origin issues. That includes looking at attachment, abandonment fears, control issues and communication problems. She also supports people living with chronic pain, illness or disability to manage the emotional strain that comes with ongoing health challenges.

Her practice includes work around setting boundaries, recognising emotional abuse, and rebuilding self-esteem after difficult relationships. For those managing anger, the focus is on recognising triggers, practising short-term techniques to reduce reactivity, and developing longer-term strategies to express frustration constructively.

Janine offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred work means the focus is on what the client brings to the session. The therapist listens, reflects and helps people clarify their goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and gives practical experiments to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of physical and emotional signals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. This collaborative process makes it possible to adjust methods as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.

The original biography does not specify session delivery methods, so please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others value sessions that let them use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between meetings to support steady change.
