Janine Kennedy
Person-centred counsellor with practical tools
About Janine
Janine Kennedy offers online counselling grounded in person-centred care and practical therapy methods. She blends warmth with clear tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Janine has ten years of clinical experience and works with adults on a broad range of concerns, including eating and food-related issues, addictions, trauma and grief.
Her sessions focus on what matters now. She listens without judgement and helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
From there she suggests small, doable steps to change how someone feels and acts. Clients can expect a balance of listening, gentle challenge and skill-building. Janine draws on client-centred therapy alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness.
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when useful. These approaches are mixed together to match each person's needs and goals rather than using a single fixed method. She has particular interest in attachment and abandonment issues, body image and blended family concerns.
Janine also supports people coping with chronic pain, caregiver stress, career crossroads and compassion fatigue. Her experience includes helping people navigate divorce, separation and family of origin difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Janine accepts international clients.
She is registered with NCPS, which is listed as her credential. Therapy can be arranged through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used so people can find a pattern of support that works for them.

Approaches that work online and in everyday life
Janine commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on calm, non-judgemental listening and helping people find their own answers. It suits those who need space to reflect and feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers clear techniques to change them, which helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.She also draws on mindfulness to help people notice bodily sensations and patterns of thinking. Mindfulness techniques are short practices people can use between sessions to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - Janine will discuss goals, try options and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to engage. Video calls let people work face to face when visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside daily life and changing schedules.
