About Janine
Janine Kennedy works from a practical, person-focused approach that aims to meet each person where they are. She uses clear, collaborative conversations to help people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship worries, eating concerns, grief, addictions and life changes. Janine’s style is straightforward and calm, with an emphasis on small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
With ten years of experience she blends several approaches to suit individual needs. Janine draws on client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness techniques and motivational questioning to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. Janine often supports people dealing with family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the emotional fallout from separation or domestic violence. She also helps with body image, eating and food-related issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and the challenges of parenting.
The practical work includes noticing thoughts and patterns, setting small goals, and practising mindfulness skills between sessions. Janine aims to help people improve communication, manage anger, and rebuild a sense of control after difficult events. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Janine holds NCPS as a listed credential. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Janine works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, eating concerns and managing stress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Short practices and grounding exercises are used between sessions to build steadier habits over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then tailor methods together. That collaborative planning helps identify whether more CBT, mindfulness or person-centred conversations suit the current problem.
The biography states that Janine offers online therapy but does not specify formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on clear steps, practical tools and steady progress.
