About Janine
Janine Hodge is a counsellor and coach with seven years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She founded Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019, now operating as Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy, and combines psychotherapy with coaching to support people managing anxiety, low mood and overwhelm.
Janine is a registered member of the BACP, works as a counselling lecturer and provides clinical supervision alongside her practice. Her style is practical and down to earth.
Background and approach
She helps people identify repeating patterns and the triggers that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on what is happening now, why those patterns formed, and small steps to reduce unhelpful thinking and emotional reactivity. Janine draws on a blend of approaches to match the needs of each person.
She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred practice and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among others, to shape a personalised plan. This means the work can include noticing values, exploring relationship patterns, and learning clearer ways to respond to difficult thoughts. Her particular interest includes ADHD-related patterns, attachment issues, grief, trauma and relationship strains.
Janine also supports people facing parenting stress, life changes, and questions of identity and purpose. She aims to create an empowering space where people can reconnect with their authentic selves. Practical next steps are handled through an online process: choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Janine works online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that formed early and how they show up now. This approach helps people understand closeness, boundaries and repeated hurt in relationships.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person find their own solutions. It works well when someone needs a calm, steady space to make sense of feelings and make choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the sessions. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt as the work progresses.
If you prefer online work, check the therapist's current session options before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit around family, work and travel, and they can make it simpler to keep regular sessions. Confirm how scheduling and subscriptions operate so sessions fit into day-to-day life.
