About Janine
Janine Kennedy is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with NCPS and has worked in the UK for 10 years. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, eating issues, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem. She also helps people facing career pressures, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Janine draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. She tends to use practical, short-term strategies alongside reflective conversation. Sessions often involve looking at unhelpful thoughts, practising new ways of responding, and bringing attention to present-moment experience.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating and food-related issues, blended family strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, commitment and control difficulties, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also addresses communication problems, separation and divorce issues, and domestic violence-related effects.
In practice Janine uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when they suit a person’s goals. That means sessions can move between exploring what matters most and setting small, realistic steps. She asks questions to clarify values and to help people notice what change would look like.
Working online, Janine invites people to be active in setting goals and pacing work. She encourages straightforward conversations about what is and isn’t helpful, and how to build reliable habits for day-to-day life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Janine commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas alongside mindfulness practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s concerns so they feel heard and clearer about what matters. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thinking patterns and behaviours, offering practical experiments and steps to change how someone reacts. Mindfulness practice brings attention to the present moment and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and stress. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janine will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as you go. That conversation helps decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, changing thought patterns, or building awareness through mindfulness. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting work around study, shifts or caring responsibilities and removing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule sessions between commitments, or avoid needing to travel to appointments.
