Janine Kennedy , NCPS

Janine Kennedy is an accredited and fully insured counsellor and psychotherapist who brings over 10 years of clinical experience to her online practice. She offers integrative, bespoke therapy that is adapted to each person rather than relying on a single method, and she draws on a blend of evidence-informed techniques to meet individual needs. Janine holds the NCPS credential, indicating professional training in counselling and psychotherapy.

Her specialist interests include eating disorders, obesity and weight management, and the complex dynamics of toxic relationships such as emotional abuse and boundary setting. She also provides Christian faith based counselling for those who wish to explore faith alongside their emotional and psychological concerns. Janine works with a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and challenges around parenting, self-esteem and life transitions.

Her therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centred - she aims to deepen self-understanding, gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and support clients in developing practical tools for resilience and change. Janine integrates approaches such as mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural techniques, person-centred practice, motivational and Socratic questioning, and cognitive restructuring to tailor a treatment plan that fits each client.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Janine commonly combines client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques in her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a supportive space so clients can explore their feelings and values at their own pace - this approach is helpful for relationship issues, identity questions, and emotional processing. CBT offers structured ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can support work on anxiety, depression, eating-related concerns, and coping strategies. Mindfulness therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, often reducing reactivity and supporting emotion regulation across a range of stresses and life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Janine works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then tailor techniques so that therapy aligns with the client’s values and circumstances.

Online therapy with Janine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or elsewhere, allowing therapy to fit around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining a collaborative therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
