Janine Kennedy, NCPS

Janine Kennedy is a counsellor and psychotherapist with NCPS listed after her name and ten years of experience. She offers tailored online work that adapts to each person rather than using a single fixed method. Janine focuses on practical steps people can use day to day when life becomes hard.

She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression and issues around self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with eating and food-related difficulties, addiction, grief, trauma and the pressures of caregiving. Janine works with concerns around relationships, communication problems, attachment and family of origin issues as well as life changes such as separation and career shifts.

Her approach combines client-centred talking with techniques from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness-based practice. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas also appear in sessions when useful. In plain terms she listens, helps people spot unhelpful thinking, and practices new ways of coping together.

Janine has particular experience with body image and weight-related concerns, domestic and emotional abuse, and the effects of chronic illness and pain. She also supports people managing compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Her work aims to build small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life.

She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. If a person wants to begin, the usual first step is to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred work involves the counsellor listening deeply and following what matters most to the person. This helps with emotional concerns such as grief, relationship stress and issues tied to family of origin by creating space to tell your story and be heard.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical alternatives. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, body image and eating-related worries by breaking larger problems into manageable steps and homework tasks.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with chronic pain, stress and overwhelming emotions. These techniques are short exercises that can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed.

The biography indicates Janine offers bespoke online therapy, but does not list specific session formats. Confirm the exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on practical skills and conversational work.
