About Janine
Janine Kennedy is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years of experience. She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people find practical ways forward. Janine writes plainly and meets people where they are, focusing on realistic steps rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her work often focuses on eating and weight concerns, difficult or toxic relationships, emotional abuse and boundary-setting. She also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and coping with life changes. Parents and carers can turn to her for support with caregiver stress and related pressures.
Janine blends guided conversation with practical techniques. That can mean looking at thought patterns, practising mindful exercises, or using motivational questions to build readiness for change. Sessions aim to deepen self-understanding and create small, manageable goals.
She has an NCPS credential, which appears on her professional profile. Janine offers online therapy tailored to each person’s needs and preferences. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
People who are dealing with attachment or abandonment issues, body image or eating-related concerns, chronic health challenges, or difficult family-of-origin dynamics may find her approach helpful. She focuses on steady progress and building tools that fit everyday life.

How Janine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Janine commonly uses Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building commitment in small steps, which can help with addictions, weight management and motivation to try new strategies. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and offers a non-directive, listening-based space to talk through feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods together to see what helps. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.
Her biography describes online therapy adapted to each person, but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available session options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in if needed, and offer a quieter setting when that helps concentration. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use the same core therapeutic skills online as they do in person, so the focus remains on practical tools and steady progress. -
