Janine Kennedy, NCPS

Janine Kennedy offers approachable, online counselling that adapts to each person’s needs. She blends practical conversations with gentle guidance to help people facing hard moments. Janine uses familiar, clear language and aims to make sessions feel manageable from the first contact.

She has 10 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps when life feels disrupted by grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, or major changes like separation. Parenting strain, compassion fatigue, career doubts and ADHD are also within her focus.

Janine works with issues around eating and body image, including eating and food-related concerns, weight management and related difficulties. Relationship challenges feature often too, including communication problems, commitment worries and hurt from emotional abuse. She also addresses family of origin issues, blended family strains and caregiver stress.

Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, practical coping skills and steady routines that fit everyday life.

Janine is registered with NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She offers sessions in English and accepts people from outside the UK. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions to suit their schedule.

The initial steps are simple and designed to help people find a conversational, goal-focused path forward.

How Janine’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood; it helps with low self-esteem, relationship worries and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact; it is practical for anxiety, depression, unhelpful habits and eating-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness exercises to reduce rumination and support calmer responses to stress and chronic pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janine will talk with each person about goals, day-to-day demands and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the plan practical and goal-focused.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options let people keep continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
