Janine Kennedy, NCPS

Janine Kennedy is a counsellor with ten years of clinical experience who offers tailored therapy to people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She uses a practical, person-focused style to help clients understand what’s happening for them and to build workable coping skills. Janine is listed as NCPS which appears with her name on professional records. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Janine draws on client-centred work to help people feel heard and to sharpen their own priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness techniques and motivational approaches to help spot patterns and change unhelpful thinking. In practice this means short experiments, gentle challenges to negative thoughts, and simple mindfulness exercises to manage overwhelming moments.

She has particular experience supporting people with eating and food-related concerns, body image, addiction issues, grief and trauma, and with the stresses that come from caregiving. Other areas she commonly addresses include relationship communication, setting boundaries after emotional abuse, parenting strains, career pressures and coping with life changes.

Janine works collaboratively and keeps sessions straightforward. She helps clients set clear goals, track small steps, and review what is working. Her approach is adaptable so each plan is built around a person’s day-to-day life.

To begin, people complete a matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Janine commonly uses Client-Centred methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy online. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These practices are brief and grounded in everyday life, helping with anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm. All of these approaches are used collaboratively so the therapist and client choose what fits best for the person’s situation and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Janine will discuss options with clients and adapt methods to match their needs and preferences. This means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and changing course when necessary.

The biography indicates bespoke online therapy is offered, but does not list specific session formats. Confirm the exact session types available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, fitting appointments around work or caring commitments, or choosing a brief check-in when time is limited.
