Janine Kennedy , NCPS

Janine Kennedy is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years of practice. She offers online sessions that are shaped around each person's situation and goals. Janine speaks English and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She holds the NCPS credential and uses a mix of approaches to suit different concerns.

Janine focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports people with eating and food-related issues, grief, addiction and trauma. Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, self-esteem, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and career-related stress.

Her work often touches on attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment problems, blended family challenges, and body image concerns. Janine also helps people manage chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, caregiver stress, and the fallout from divorce and separation.

In sessions she draws from client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness techniques. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are used when helpful to set small, practical goals. The tone is collaborative and straightforward - she talks things through, gently questions unhelpful thinking, and practises skills together with the person in front of her.

People can expect a pragmatic approach that aims to build useful coping tools. Janine tailors work to each person, so sessions may emphasise self-understanding, skill-building or short-term problem solving depending on what is needed.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping you find your own direction. It is useful when someone wants a supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and eating-related issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will try methods that feel right. That may mean starting with practical CBT tools, mixing in mindfulness exercises, or centring sessions around reflective, client-centred conversations depending on what you want to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how you meet. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and working through exercises that use visual material. Phone sessions can fit around work breaks or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, step-by-step problem solving or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and adapt therapy to a busy life.
