About Janine
Janine Kennedy is an NCPS counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and body-image problems, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career stress.
Her practice combines client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when they fit the person and the problem. Janine explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She pays particular attention to attachment and abandonment themes, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and difficulties that come from family of origin. She also works with people dealing with commitment or control issues, communication problems, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small changes to see what works. She supports clients to set boundaries, address eating and food-related concerns, and manage compassion fatigue or ADHD-related struggles. The emphasis is on clear, achievable goals and steady progress.
Janine offers her work in English and accepts international clients. Practical details about booking and fees are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, helping them feel heard and clarifying what matters most. It suits people who need time to talk through family or parenting pressures and to make sense of emotional responses.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to distress and tries practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating concerns and for changing unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. It can be useful alongside talking work for coping with grief, chronic pain, compassion fatigue and day-to-day overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography describes online work but does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use different online arrangements to suit quieter schedules, lower bandwidth needs, or quicker follow-up conversations.
