About Janine
Janine Kennedy is a counsellor with ten years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers online sessions that aim to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and parenting challenges. Janine also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, eating and body image concerns, and major life changes.
Her practice combines client-centred listening with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, spotting unhelpful thoughts, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people set realistic goals and stay motivated. Janine has worked with people facing attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment problems, and the strain of caregiver roles. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, blended family tensions, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation.
Her work includes addressing compassion fatigue and aspects of ADHD. The first meetings usually centre on what feels most urgent and on clearer short-term aims. Later sessions build skills such as thought reframing, mindfulness practices, and problem-solving steps tailored to each person.
Janine explains NCPS as her professional credential and uses it when talking about her background. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging so people can pick the format that fits their life. International clients may take part in sessions in English.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange appointments according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping a person make sense of their own experience. In online sessions this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions, and helps the person set goals that feel right for them.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Online CBT often involves spotting unhelpful thoughts, trying small experiments between sessions, and using worksheets or short exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that fit. If something does not feel helpful, the approach can be adjusted together so sessions remain relevant and focused on the client's aims.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for everyday life. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or for quicker check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, step-by-step problem solving, or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments.
