About Janine
Janine Kennedy offers online counselling that focuses on practical, person-focused support. She uses straightforward talking, gentle challenge, and practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship problems. Janine is NCPS registered and brings ten years of experience to her work.
Her sessions typically begin with listening to what matters most to the client. She helps people make sense of patterns that cause distress, such as unhelpful thoughts, difficulties with boundaries, or struggles around food and body image.
How Janine works
Conversations aim to be down-to-earth and paced to suit each person. Janine combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she pays attention to a person's experience while also helping them test and change thinking that gets in the way.
She also uses mindfulness strategies and motivational questioning to support behaviour change and build coping skills. She has particular experience supporting people with eating and food-related issues, relationship difficulties including emotional abuse and setting boundaries, grief, addictions, and stress linked to caregiving and chronic health problems. Janine also works with concerns such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment worries, communication and commitment issues.
Sessions are arranged online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. The emphasis is on practical steps and small changes that add up. Janine aims to help people feel steadier, clearer and more able to manage life’s challenges.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and physical sensations in a calm way, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Janine will discuss which methods match a person's goals and preferences, and adapt the mix as progress is made. That means sessions can start simply and change over time as needs change.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and health commitments while still using the therapeutic tools described above.
