Janine Hodge
Helping people close the gap to their authentic self
About Janine
Janine Hodge is a counsellor and coach practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She founded Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019, now Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy, and combines psychotherapy with practical coaching to help people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Janine is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Janine focuses on anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, self‑esteem struggles and the ripple effects of trauma or abuse.
Background and approach
She also works with people experiencing grief, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Her practice includes additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and family of origin problems. Her style is direct and inquisitive.
She helps people identify repetitive patterns that run beneath daily difficulties and then narrows the focus to what will change those patterns. Sessions blend talking, practical strategies and coaching-style tasks to build clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses. Janine draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment‑Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques to shape each plan.
The exact mix is chosen with the person in front of her so it lines up with their goals and pace. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can pick a format that fits their life.
Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and prices vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and focus on values-based actions. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and feeling stuck. Attachment‑based ideas look at how early relationships affect current connections and emotional patterns; this can help with relationship strain, abandonment feelings and long-standing trust issues.Janine treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit the person’s goals and comfort level. The plan can change as needs shift over time and sessions will reflect that ongoing conversation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional insight.
