Janine Kennedy uses a person-centred approach to make therapy straightforward and practical. She places the client at the centre of sessions and adapts techniques to each person's needs. Janine draws on cognitive behaviour ideas and mindfulness to help people manage thoughts and feelings.

She has NCPS on her record and has been working in counselling for 10 years. Janine helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and eating and body-image concerns.

Background and approach

She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, parenting strains, compassion fatigue and challenges at work. Her additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, blended family concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to make change feel manageable.

Janine uses short practical exercises, thought-challenging and motivational listening to build small steps forward. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce overwhelm and bring attention to the present moment. She offers online formats so people can fit therapy into busy lives.

Work is collaborative - clients set goals and Janine tailors methods to meet them. The approach is steady and solutions-oriented rather than prescriptive. Janine has spent a decade developing this mix of approaches in the United Kingdom.

Her practice focuses on helping people gain clearer thinking, better coping skills and more consistent emotional regulation. The aim is to leave each session with a simple next step.

How Janine’s Approaches Work Online

Janine combines person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in a way that translates well to online sessions. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the client set the pace; it helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and calm strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made so techniques stay relevant to the person’s needs.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or quieter time. Live chat and text can be useful for shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
