About Janine

Janine Kennedy NCPS offers a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She uses familiar methods to help people make changes in everyday life. Janine keeps sessions straightforward and centred on what a person wants to achieve.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make space for a person’s own perspective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift patterns of thinking that cause distress. Mindfulness techniques help with stress, anxiety and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming.

Janine has spent 10 years working with a wide range of issues. She supports people struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, eating and body-image concerns, and coping with life changes. Relationship and communication problems are also a frequent focus, including difficulties tied to attachment, abandonment and commitment worries.

The practice also addresses parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and work-related compassion fatigue. Janine lists ADHD among her focus areas and helps people build practical strategies for concentration and routine. She also works with people affected by trauma, domestic violence and separation.

Janine holds NCPS as a credential and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

How Janine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Janine combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with mindfulness work to help people make practical changes. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation is shaped around the person’s own concerns and goals, giving space to their viewpoint. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and offers straightforward exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janine aims to agree on techniques based on a person’s needs, goals and what feels comfortable. She treats therapy as a collaboration, checking in about how methods are working and adjusting plans over time.

The original biography describes her offering online therapy, so please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. They can also let someone choose whether to work with video or a different setup depending on comfort and available technology.
