About Janine

Janine Kennedy is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years' experience. She is listed with NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. Janine aims to offer practical, compassionate support for people facing stress around pregnancy and childbirth and other life changes.

She uses a mix of client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions focus on clear steps you can take, and on listening so you feel understood. Janine also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people find motivation and calm.

Janine commonly helps with anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people with eating and body image concerns, addiction issues, trauma and coping with chronic illness. Practical problems such as communication, boundaries, work stress and parenting pressures are part of her caseload.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She works with each person to spot patterns that get in the way and to build small, usable skills. Sessions are paced to match what the client needs at the time.

Janine accepts clients from the UK and international clients who can meet by the session format offered. She works in English. To begin, you follow the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Janine’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you and helps you make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and support calmer thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will collaborate with you to choose which methods to try based on your goals, preferences and current situation. That shared decision-making helps shape each session and the skills you practise between appointments.

The biography describes bespoke online therapy but does not list specific formats here, so please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins from wherever you are. They also allow for shorter or longer appointments when needed and can make it simpler to combine therapy with healthcare appointments, work breaks or childcare arrangements.
