About Janine
Janine Hodge is a counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years' experience in the United Kingdom. She trained to level 5 with the CPCAB and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Janine combines psychotherapy and coaching and often supports people who feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed or unsure how to show up authentically in their lives.
She works in a practical, down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.
Background and approach
Janine often helps people notice repeating patterns and the beliefs that keep them stuck. She offers clear steps to reduce emotional overwhelm and to build steadier ways of responding to stress and relationship strain. Her approach draws on a mix of therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural tools.
This blend lets her tailor sessions to each person's situation. Parents and carers may find her combination of coaching and psychotherapy helpful when juggling family demands and personal wellbeing. Janine also brings experience as a counselling lecturer and a clinical supervisor.
That background informs her reflective style and her attention to practical skills that help day-to-day life. Sessions are available online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People who choose to work with her usually begin by describing the immediate difficulties they face.
From there Janine and each person plan small, manageable steps to reduce distress and to reconnect with what matters to them.

How Janine’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns that developed in close relationships and how these show up now, helping to improve emotional connection and sense of safety.Janine uses a client-centred stance alongside cognitive behavioural techniques so sessions are both accepting and practical. She works collaboratively to choose the best mix of methods for each person. Exploring goals together helps decide what to try and when to adjust the approach.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face to face and notice non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing to speaking.
The combination of approach and format gives flexibility to fit therapy around parenting, work and daily life. Janine will help tailor sessions to what suits a person's needs, goals and practical circumstances, so therapy feels manageable and relevant.
